Extract of a letter from Morristown, New Jersey, dated January 15, 1777: "The garrison that was taken at Fort Washington are mostly released, some of them told me that 1100 of the garrison died in the city, being starved to death; that provisions was very scarce with the enemy."
Essex Journal (Newburyport, Massachusetts), 6 Feb. 1777
