Lieutenant Isaiah Parden, Officer of the La nouvelle armée française d'Amérique

December 5, 1791

I was ordered to go to New York to take a message, get reports from the local quartermasters, review the forces there, and get a army there. The trip to there will probably take a few hours or so, and I have 120 men that were provided by France.

The French began withdrawing men to be sent back to France. According to resources, another General with greater potential then General George Washington is coming. His name is Napoleon Bonaparte, and expected to arrive the sixth of January. Anyways, the damn cold has driven many men insane. With the limited supplies, and low amount of men, the revolution is going well for us colonists. As well, the British have stopped bombarding New York recently. A current rough census was taken, around 23,000-25,000 live currently in the state of New York. France has taken Montreal and Quebec City, also area of the Indian territory of Britain. The Indians still have a independently. An another interesting event is the french mainland conflicts. The French Government has began to use those troops retrieved from the america's to settle the civilian unrest. Anyways, reports came in, 23,000 men are stationed in New York, and 13,000 of that is just militia. The British have 2,000 Hessians with 60 guns on Long Island. Aswell, they have 35,000 men stationed around the city. We have merely 32 Guns, 6 of which are mortars, and 10 of which are howziters. Luckily, that french general Napoleon Bonaparte is bringing 102 Guns from France, along with apparently 78,000 Infantry. Spain aswell has sent 101,000 men to secure new Spain. This is all great, but I believe the French and Spanish have different intentions on our glorius nation. I will send him the report. Possibly even congress.

I finished mapping out America, but it needs some finishing touches. Russia is colonizing the North West coast, which is confirms the army that was in the forests. I am mobilizing 1,000 men to the north to Boston soon, all of which are going to be veterans and infantry. We are recieving 20 Guns on our trip there.
