    "General Washington attacked our Lines with a body of about twelve tofourteen thousand men with all his field artillery, at German Town the 4th ofOctober at four in the morning 1777. He attacked in five (struck through) sixcolumns ? one on the left where the Hessian Jager supported by one battalion

    were posted which made no Impression, two on the right of the village whereone column penetrated and obliged the first battalion of infantry and the 4th orKing's own to give way after considerable loss. The 4th Regt lost upwards of80 men out of something less than 200 and had the greater part of their o"cerwounded. The other column on that side fortunately lost their way by reason ofa great fog that prevailed."
