Knox writes to Major William Perkins, overseer of stores at Providence, Rhode Island. "All the cannon & stores from Providence under you are to be transported to Fish Kill landing & there embark'd on board of vessels... & proceed to West Point..." The ships carrying stores are to float in the Hudson River by West Point above the chain (that laid across the Hudson), awaiting further orders.
