	NPS Historical Handbook: Morristown
		The enemy damaged the outer margins of that web on several occasions, notably on June 7 and 23, when they penetrated to Connecticut Farms (now Union) and Springfield, but Washington's defenses were never seriously broken, and through all that winter and spring his position in the Morris County hills remained relatively undisturbed.
		While this second Battle of Springfield was in progress, Washington moved the main body of the Continental Army "back towards Morris Town five or six miles," where he would be in a better position to defend the stores remaining there in case the British attack should carry that far.
		After lingering on the island for 24 hours without covering, with the snow 4 feet deep and the weather extremely cold, Stirling's force could bring off only a handful of prisoners and some blankets and stores.

		Having failed to take the Hobart Gap, learned that the Continentals and Militia would fight, Knyphausen learns that Clinton and a large part of the victorious Carolina Army is about to return to NYC.
		According to Loyalist intelligence, the mutinous Continentals will not fight, the war weary and bankrupt population will not turn out as Militia (as had happened during Washington’s Retreat in 1776) and with horses lacking in Morristown (either eaten or dispersed for forage), the most important Continental Magazine and Artillery Park would fall into Royal hands.
