When the Enemy advanc'd Mr. Thomas Inform'd me that the Posts at the Ferry were to be cut down, and the Bridge over Ogdens Ferry to be cut away, and the Cannon at the Fort to be Spiked by a .Person on duty there.

Mr. Warren, alias Caton, went in Company with me to the Jerseys, we met with Jonathan Henry Smith at Bullions Tavern who said he would take us safe through the lines which he accordingly Perform'd; we crossed at Milestone Bridge; We inform'd Bullion we were going to New York, who shook his head & said he was much frightened for us.

We went from Milestone bridge to Lord Abercrombie, who sent us to Lord Cornwallis; from thence we went to General Skinner, who was very desirous to know whether General Dickinson had resigned or not. I there found the Hessian Troops were very sickly & numbers died every day.

Colonel Ball offered me a Captain's Commission, which I refus'd; & have never yet had any Commission from the British Generals.

On my return to Philadelphia I acquainted Mr. Sheppard & Joseph Thomas of what Lord Howe had mention'd to me respecting the Pilots, Sheppard told me he expected two every day, and that a Mr. Cameron who he had mention'd the Subject to had been looking for them for some time; said Cameron broke his leg a short time ago.

Mrs. Bryan lnform'd me she had been tampering with some of the Pilots to bring the British Fleet up the Delaware, and Mrs. McCoy afterwards consulted with Mrs. Bryan, she told me if I would call at her house that afternoon I could have an opportunity of conversing with the Pilots about going to New York, which I accordingly did and we Concluded to go on Horseback,-one of which Mr. Sheppard was to Provide, Who Likewise Advanc'd me the £ 50 and told me that sooner than Loose the Pilots he would advance £ 100 if he never got a Copper in return. Mr. Sheppard lnform'd me he had three hundred Head of Cattle already provided, and could procure three hundred more if he knew where to deliver them or when the British Troops would be round.

When I Informed Sheppard I was ready to set off he applied to Mr. Fox, the Farrier, for a Horse; who Inform'd him he had none, and it looked odd he applying for Horses at that time of Night, he thought he had better wait untill morning, said Fox was present when I received the money.

Sheppard delivered a Book to Warren, alias Caton, which he was to deliver to Mr. Galaway, on Mr. Galaway's receiving it he applied it to the Fire, which enabled him to read it; no letters appeared before; Part of the Contents were that Caton might be trusted.

The above is what the Deceas'd Molesworth Communicated to us the Evening before his Execution, & requested when under the Gallows it might be made Publick.
