John Eisenlord's Letter
Mount Independence at Ticonderoga, March 7, 1777
Dear Father in Law
I profit
of this good Opportunity to acquaint you, that I am thank God, yet well disposed
in this station, hoping and wishing that these may find you and your whole
Family all in good health. We have here no News yet of the Enemy approaching,
but we have neither Orders to march home. Yet I suppose, that we shall be discharged
or relieved within a month's Time since our Departure. We are building here
a Bridge of 16OO foot long from this Mount Independent to Fort Ticonderoga
over Lake Champlain - I inclose here a Letter to my wife, please to forward
it as soon as possible. I salute you and Mother in Law, my Brothers
and Sisters in Law, heartily and my always,
Your affectionate Son and humble Servt. Jno
Eisenlord
To Mr Peter Grems, Stonearabia
