[COLONEL DAVID GILMAN'S REGIMENT. FINAL PAY-ROLLS.]


[This regiment was enlisted in December, 1776, and remained in the service beyond the time for which the men were engaged, at the earnest request of General Sullivan. It participated in the battles of Trenton and Princeton, and did excellent service in both. At the battle on the 26th of December, which resulted in the capture of the Hessians at Trenton, New Jersey, this regiment was a portion of the right division, which was under the command of Major-General John Sullivan. The conduct of the New Hampshire and other New Eng- land troops on that occasion. and at Princeton on January 3, 1777. is set forth in the following extract from a letter from General Sullivan to Hon. Meshech Weare, dated Chatham, February 13, 1777 :- ED.]


" I have been so full of Business that I could not find time to write ; but still I have a more weighty reason, which is, That I cannot give an account of a victory or defeat where I was an actor without saying some- thing for or against myself; & I have a great aversion to writing against myself & to write in favor would be evidence of a very suspicious kind. Indeed, I always had an aversion to fighting upon paper ; for I have never yet found a man well versed in that kind of fighting, that would practice any other. Perhaps you may want to know how your men (the Yankees) fight: I tell you exceeding well when they have proper offi- cers. I have been much pleased to see a day approaching to try the difference between Yankee cowardice & southern valour. The Day has or rather the days have arrived, and all the General Officers allowed & do allow that the Yankees cowardice assumes the shape of true valor in the field; and the Southern valor appears to be a composition of boasting & conceit. General Washington made no scruple to say pub- licly the remains of the Eastern Regiments were the strength of his army, though then their numbers were comparatively speaking but small ; he calls them in front when the Enemy are there ; he sends them to the rear when the Enemy threatens that way ; all the general officers allow them to be the best of Troops. The Southern officers and soldiers allow it in times of danger, but not all other times. Believe me, Sir, the Yankees took Trentown before the other Troops knew anything of the matter more than that there was an engagement, and what will still sur- prise you more, the line that attacked the Town consisted of eight hun- dred Yankees & there was 1600 Hessians to oppose them. At Prince- town, when the 17th Regt. had thrown 3500 southern militia into the ut-

most confusion, a Regiment of Yankees restored the day. This General Mifflen confessed to me ;- though the Philadelphia papers tell us a differ- ent story. It seems to have been quite forgot, that while the 17th Regt was engaging those Troops that 600 Yankees had the Town to take aget the 40th & 55th Reg" which they did without loss owing to the manner of attack ; but enough of this; I don't wish to reflect ;- but beg leave to assure you that Newspapers & even Letters don't always speak the truth. You may venture to assure your friends that no men fight better or write worse than the Yankees, of which this Letter will be good evidence. Dear Sir I am with much esteem, your most obed' serv'
