Knox gives Jackson orders regarding taking control of King's Bridge, New York as the British evacuate their troops. Informs Jackson that the first and fourth Massachusetts regiments have been directed to march this day for King's Bridge where they will join the Light Infantry commanded by Colonel Hull.
