Sir -

Your favor of the 16th Inst is at hand. The price you mention say $16,000 is far above the amount I contemplate giving for a summer retreat. I find I have formed an erroneous opinion of the value which was founded on a purchase made by a Friend of mine about a year ago. Mr Joseph Dedderer purchased a good Farm of between 4 & 500 acres of Land and a good House, at Rockland Lake, for about $13,0000, which is nearly opposite Mount Plesant it appears that the value of Farm principally consist in the Building. I hope will pardon me for giving you this unprofitable trouble, which certainly would have been avoided had there been a reference to some person in the City.
I remain with respect
Your most obedient servant

John Denham, 169 16th St. William Denham No 139 West 17 St in the City of New York He Deposition - Revolutionary War on 20 May 1854 in New York, NY, NY.^737,738,739 State of New York, City and County of New York:
Andrew S. Norwood, being duly sworn doeth depose and say that he was born in the city of New York, in Duke, now called Stone Street, and his father was also a native of this city. That deponent remained in the city from the time of his birth until a short time prior to its being taken by the British forces during the Revolutionary War, when his father's family removed to New Brunswick, New Jersey.
That his father espoused the cause of Liberty in the struggle with Great Britain, and was actively engaged therein; was twice taken prisoner; he was exchanged the first time; he was the second time taken in 1779 while in command of a baggage-train in New Jersey, brought to New York and thrown into the Sugar House prison in Crown Street, now known as Liberty Street.
And deponent further says that he has a distinct and vivid recollection of many of the scenes and incidents in New York city during the period of our Revolutionary History; that his mother returned to the city shortly after his father was the second time taken prisoner, and brought her children with her - this deponent among the rest, since which time deponent has resided in the city of his birth continuously to the present time. That he remembers scenes incident to the Declaration of Independence and to the war, such as the evacuation of the city by the Revolutionary Citizens and their families prior to its occupation by the hostile forces; the fact of the conversion of various buildings, public and private, into prisons, military hospitals, and quarters for troops; and the final evacuation of the city by the British; also the entry of Gen. Washington and his army after peace was declared. That he distinctly remembers the Sugar House prison in Crown Street, as his father was there confined a prisoner of war. That his mother's relatives belonged to the Tory party, particularly one Major Creamer in the Royalist forces, through whose influence deponent's father was released from prison on his parole conditional that he should remain in the city; that after his father was so released he frequently employed this deponent to carry provisions to his friends in the prison. Deponent particularly remembers one John Van Dyke to whom he often carried gifts of food. That the Hessian sentinels became somewhat familiar with deponent, and allowed him ingress and egress to and from the prison aforesaid; that on one or two occasions, however, they struck him, but not so as to injure him seriously.
And deponent further says that the condition of the prisoners was abject in the extreme, and most distressing to witness; they frequently tried to wrest from his possession the food with which he was sent; they were frequently fed with bread made from old worm-eaten ship-bread, which was reground into meal and then converted into bread, and deponent remembers that the bread so made was offensive to the smell even while still hot from the oven.
Deponent further says that he remembers that many of the prisoners died during their confinement in said prison; that the bodies of those who died were placed in oblong boxes, sometimes two bodies in one box, and were buried in Trinity Church yard, and deponent distinctly remembers having himself seen such internments.
Deponent further says that a part of Trinity Church yard was at that time used as a common burying ground, as was also the yard of St. George's Church and the Swamp Burying Ground. That St. Paul' s Church yard was exclusive, and was not thus used for public purposes, and that only members of the Episcopal Church were there interred.
Deponent further says that a brother of his father, named Cliff or Clifford Norwood, was murdered during the period of the Revolution, as was supposed by foreign soldiers, and his said uncle was buried in Trinity Church yard.
And this deponent further says that he distinctly remembers the Rev'd Mr. Inglis, the officiating Rector of Trinity Church at that period, and deponent verily believes, that Mr. Inglis had no power or influence and exercised or attempted to exercise none to prevent the interment of "rebels," as they were termed by the Tories and British, in the yard of Trinity Church.
Further says not.
