To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Reed on his visit to Griffin at Mount Holly on the night of the 24th of December, and their families were fugitives together on the edge of the pine forests. Mr. Cox shares some of the calumnies which had their origin in these scenes of trial and peril; for in the last libellous re-issue — the Philadelphia one of 1863 — he is spoken of as '■^YLttd's particeps crim- inis." During his life, however, no one ventured openly to attack him. The instant Mr. Reed was assailed in Oswald's paper, Colonel... Cox came to the rescue of his friend, and, as early as October 20th, 1782, made the following state- ment, which shows the confidential relations of the parties. Certificate from the Hon. John Cox, Esquire, Vice President of New Jersey. These are to certify, that, in the month of December, 1776, the subscriber, being then lieutenant colonel of the second bat- 57 talion of Philadelphia miUtia, lying at Bristol, Mr. Joseph Reed, the then adjutant generai of the Continental army, came down to the militia by the direction of the commander in chief (as the subscriber understood) that he quartered in the same house with the subscriber and was engaged in procuring intelligence from the enemy, and in the most confidential communications of the operations of the army ; that the subscriber accompanied him in one to Mount Holly to Colonel Griffin and, as the subscriber understood, was treated with the most unreserved confidence both at Bristol and elsewhere with resped: to the movements and designs of the troops ; that his advice and opinion appeared to be much depended on, particularly with respe6l to crossing over and remaining in New Jersey, which led to the successes at Princeton and the favorable issue of the campaign ; that the sub- scriber verily believes those communications to have been made at such times and under such circumstances as must have sub- jelled the troops to certain destru6lion and the commanding officer to the highest censure, if, on the one hand, the person en- trusted had proved unfaithful, or on the other, the commanding officer had reason to suspect him.
