Quote of the day.

“We were regaled here with a good Dish of Tea, good cream, good Bread & Butter and some nice broiled ham as a Relisher. We were both tired and hungry, W.W. (Whipple) drank Tea and crown’d his Breakfast with a bowl if milk. W.E. confined himself to Tea & Bread & Butter at which he shone.” As they traveled through New Jersey, General Whipple noted that it was “was not divided into townships” and once in New York, he wrote that “The East End of Long Island where farming is carried on in the N England stile.”
