Note
Given the "situation at Paramus and the uncertainty of our armies continuing at this place ... it will be for the interest of the service to send the sick to the Hutts at Morris[town]. You will therefore take measures for their immediate removal having regard to the weather so as not [to] expose the sick more than what is necessary...."
"Application must be made to the magtistrates for waggons; and for fear itshould not be in their power to procure them agreeable to the forms of law I have sent you a party of light horse and a press warrant to impress such a number as shall be competent to the service."
"Dr. [James Brown] Cutting will move his hospital stores" as well. Cutting was apothecary of the Middle Dept. to June 10 1780, and had a store near Paramus Church. -- Sypher. New York State Society of the Cincinnati, p. 112.
Tilton was in charge of the hospital at Paramus -- see Duncan. Medical men of the Revolution, p. 307. Like Greene, he was an original member of The Society of the Cincinnati. In 1813, he published Economical observations on military hospitals.
Summary published in The papers of general Nathanael Greene, vol. VI, p. 318.
