[New York Harbour] 27th Novr
Most of the transports with troops on board for the Expedition, went out of the N. River to day, and anchored between Governor's Island and Redhook. The large ships are gone down to Gravesend bay.
It is still uncertain where we are going; but Rhode-Island is now generally supposed to be our destination; and that The Frigates and transports will go through the Sound, and the two decked Ships round Long Island, and rendezvous off the E. end of Long Island.
