Q, attack on Fort Washington, Nov. 16th; R, Fort Lee surprised, Nov. 20th.] In giving detailed references for the several stages of the campaign, the letters from and to Washington have been a source of the first importance; and beside those given by Sparks in his printed works, there are others registered in the _Sparks MSS._ (no. xxix.), the _Heath Papers_ (_Mass. Hist. Coll._, xliv.), not to name less important gatherings,[801] all of which form a general running commentary on events of the summer's and autumn's campaign, which could be further elucidated by the memoirs of Heath and Graydon, the lives of Reed and Greene, and by various diaries on both sides.[802] [Illustration: CAMPAIGN ABOVE NEW YORK, 1776.
