General: I attempted to take Williamsport yesterday, but found too large a force of infantry and artillery. After a long fight, I withdrew to this place.

By the last returns to the Department of War the militia force of the several States may be estimated at 800,000 men - infantry, artillery, and cavalry.

I can't stay in one place for too long.

Exhibitions usually are not collected; they disperse after they take place.

In general, I'm opposed to any industrialization of Long Island Sound, ... It's appalling to think of plunking something so large out there. We enjoy watching the tankers and freighters go by from where I live, but I don't think anybody's going to appreciate something that big sitting out there on a permanent basis.

If it's the right chair, it doesn't take too long to get comfortable in it.
