Journal of Lieutenant Isaac Bangs, Sunday, May 26, 1776

Being lame, I could not attend upon divine Service, but spent the chief part of the Day with Majr Haden in his & my own Tent in reading Herveys Meditations. I wrote to my Mother. The Enemy are collecting a Fleet of Transports & Ships of War at Sandy Hook. Our Men have been very busied in building Forts & Breast works on the Jersie Side.
