The Freeman's Journal, Or, New Hampshire Gazette

Mr. Ebenezer Grover, jun. of this town, who returned from the army last evening informs us, that at the evacuation of Fort Lee, as he was coming from the fort, he was, after being fired at several times, taken by a small party of the enemy, who took from him his horse and pack, threatening his life every minute, and carried him before Gen. Cornwallis, who examined him, and ordered him to be searched; and after breaking open & burning several letters, took his pocket-book, which contained several Continental bills, at which they were much diverted, and talked of burning them; but he begged them not to, as they would pass among us as well as silver: after detaining him two days, with nine other prisoners, the brigade major gave him a pass, and informed him that he was at liberty to return home; the other nine were ordered to New-York. The Gen. and his officers requested Mr. Grover to give their compliments to the people of Connecticut, and that they would come and pay us a visit as soon as they had been to see the Congress. -- Mr. Grover did not get his horse and pack again.
