[Hartford] Monday 11th Novr
Six Prisoners were brought to Goal, part of those taken on Long Island last Friday Week by a Party of the Rebells sent over for that purpose, among whom was a Capt Smith of Genl Delaney's Brigade He assures me that this plan was conducted by the Rebells in concert with one Nathan Woodhull, (who was formerly in the Militia, has been in the Rebellion, & taken the Oaths of Allegiance since) who, he says he can prove, has frequently secreted Rebells, & was their Guide the Night he was made Prisoner. He tells me the Rebells kill'd 5. or 6. & brought off about 18 or 19 Prisoners with about 50. Firelocks —
