About this book
General Washington’s service of transmitting intelligence is discussed with the caution that the exact date when the systematic transmission of intelligence began cannot be ascertained. The account explains that Samuel Culper was the assumed name of those who furnished secret intelligence. The text identifies Abraham Woodhull with the signature Samuel Culper, Sr., and Robert Townsend with Samuel Culper, Jr.
A letter by John Jameson describes John Paulding as one of the young men who took Major André and refused money. The account says that Abraham Woodhull used his own money for incidental Secret Service expenses, including repairs to whaleboats and feed for horses.
