On the 5th of June the election was made. It was formally announced to Washington by Hancock, the president of Congress, and was accepted on the spot. The commander, impressed with the imminence of the crisis, denied him- self the sad privilege of a farewell in person to his own household, took leave of his wife in a letter equally brave and tender, and on the 21st com- menced his northward journey. Twenty miles from Philadelphia he met a courier with tidings of the battle of Bunker Hill. Eager...ly inquiring as to the details of the transaction, and learning the promptness, skill and cour- age that had made the day forever memorable, he exclaimed, " The liberties of the country are safe ! " A deputation from the Provincial Congress met him at Springfield, and volunteer cavalcades gave him honorable attendance from town to town, till, on the 2d of July, he arrived at Watertown, received and returned the congratulatory address of the Congress there assembled, and was then escorted by a company of horse and a goodly body of mounted civilians to the president's house, now known as Wadsworth House.
