Full Description:
Governor William Franklin [of New Jersey] to Clinton. New York. Enclosing a report by Lippincott and maintaining that the Board is ignorant of the particulars of Huddy's death, except for what is contained in the enclosed paper which Lippincott was preparing when he was seized. Complains of the murders of many loyal British subjects who have not received the solemnly promised protection. Gives particulars of three instances of retaliation which have had a good effect, and thinks that considering how long the Loyalists have borne with the cruelties of the rebels, it is not surprising they have begun to retaliate. Refers to the enclosures, will fulfil the commands concerning the future exchange of prisoners, and send particulars of those now in custody.
