Volume concludes with letters dated December 27 and 29, 1776 which describe the famous crossing of the icy Delaware River: "... But the quantity of ice, made that night, impeded the passage of the boats so much, that it was three o'clock before the artillery could all be got over; and near four, before the troops took up their line of march. This made be despair of surprising the town, as I well knew we could not reach it before the day was fairly broke" (p360).
