3091. FORTIFICATIONS, New York.—

I wish you would stay long enough at New
York to settle * * * the plan of defence
for that place; and I am in hopes you will
also see Fulton's [torpedo] experiments tried,
and see how far his means may enter into
your plan.—
To General Dearborn. Washington ed. v, 117. Ford ed., ix, 101.
