Congress had fled Philadelphia to escape the British. The desertion of colonial troops mounted by the hour, winter was coming on. coming of October 15th, and in his headquarters at White Marsh, General Washington is laying plans for the evacuation of his army to a place called Valley Forge.

Then Colonel, we will withdraw Morgan's rangers along this line, I believe. A suggestion, sir. Well, means. Since we've been searching for a maneuver that might cover the advance on Philadelphia, could that detachment be used near Matt's since Ford?

And, uh, come in. Your Excellency? Yes, John. There is a lady waiting to see you sir. A lady? She claims acquaintance with you and insists the matter is urgent. Did she give her name? Mrs. Elizabeth Graham Ferguson.

Of Philadelphia. Yes sir. I know her well. Sure in general. General Sir. Yes Colonel. Your pardon but might this woman be any relation to the Henry Ferguson who has been one of the civilian attendants to General Howe since the British march into Philadelphia?
