[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] Silver in those war times seems to have been a rari-ty in the Old Dominion, for the colonel remarks : " I was asked at Hanover Court House five dollars for a bowl of apple-toddy, but was satisfied by paying onesil-ver dollar." After delivering up the prisoners, he con-tinued his march through Alexandria, Georgetown, Bladensburg, Baltimore, and Philadelphia, to Tren-ton, where the New Jersey troops left, and the New York brigade marched to Pompton, and commenced huts for their winter accommodation, which, after all, appears to have been of a miserable sort. They were scant of clothing and provisions, and obliged to labor hard to keep their huts warm. 1 While in their huts they were visited by Steuben, and also by Washington and his wife, who remained in Van Cortlandt's quarters from Saturday until Monday. The succeeding year the regiment was sent to Verplanck's Point, where they were joined by the New Jersey and New England troops. The French army, under Rochainheau, halted there on their way to I'd kskill, where they were reviewed by the Com-mander-in-chief. In the autumn they hutted at New Windsor, and while there, Colonel Van Cortlandt at-tended the meeting called by Washington to consider the disaffection that had arisen from the fear enter-tained lest the army should be returned penniless to their homes. The meeting resulted in a unanimous resolution to patiently await the doings of Congress, and trust that their faithful services would meet a due reward.
