Full Description:
Clinton to Washington. New York. Is sorry his letter of the '7th' did not arrive in time but the delay must have been on the American side as Colonel Dayton's receipt is of the 9th [March]. Is willing to lessen any disagreeable circumstances and has appointed the '28th instant' when his commissioners can set out and meet Washington's at Elizabethtown. Proposes a cessation of hostilities take place during the meeting between Raway River and Newark, and about four miles back in the country.
