On this date GW’s aide-de-camp Richard Kidder Meade wrote Brig. Gen. Jedediah Huntington: “Lieutenant Solomon [Hendrick Aupaumut] who commands the remaining part of the Stockbridge Indians has requested His Excellency to discharge four of their Tribe who are in your Brigade—As they behaved well and were unfortunate in a late action His Excy is inclined to indulge them, & if it meets with your approbation He requests that you will discharge the above number, the particular ones will be pointed out to you by the Lieut. who will deliver this” (DGC:GW).
