It was a pivotal battle for George Washington's army, and its importance was still fresh in the minds of the young nation, as evidenced by Rodney's letter. From the Estate of Malcolm S. Forbes.Condition: Usual mail folds, with toning. Scattered notations in pencil at top and bottom left corner, not affecting any text.
