Israel Putnam letters, 1778-1782.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/449915292

Putnam wrote from Redding, Connecticut, on 3 November 1778 about shoemakers who had enlisted in the army to make shoes but were now doing other business, and his efforts to rectify the situation. On 26 February 1779, he informed Major Elijah Abel that the British were in full possession of Horseneck (Greenwich, Connecticut) and were marching toward Fairfield. The final letter, written from Brooklyn, Connecticut, to the County Court in Windham expressed his opposition to the opening of additional public houses.
