I love how Sally Townsend and Robert Townsend were living with Simcoe and they were both spies.

Robert was Culper Jr and was one of the best, if not the best, spy of the Culper Ring.

Sally instead heard Simcoe and André talking about West Point and understood something was off. So she might have told her brother who passed the info.

I want a tv series about her. She deserves it.

Tallmadge & Tarleton

...on July 2 [1779] -- Colonel Banastre Tarleton, leading a two-hundred-man force comprised of part of his British Legion, the crack Seventh Light Dragoons, the Queen’s Rangers, and the Hussars, struck Tallmadge’s camp at about five in the morning. Sabers fiercely clanged, and the raiders were eventually repulsed with the help of the local militia, but not before the dragoons had suffered ten casualties and eight men captured, along with twelve horses taken -- including Tallmadge’s charger, whose saddlebags had contained twenty guineas from Washington intended for Woodhull and, worse, his letter of June 27 mentioning George Higday’s name and location. 

Tallmadge was mystified by the attack: How had the British known exactly where to find him, and why had they undertaken such a risky operation? What he did not know was that a June 13 letter -- not written in the stain -- from Washington to Tallmadge that mentioned “C----r” and a “liquid” he was using had been intercepted by the British, who decided to venture capturing Tallmadge himself.

This is a work in progress for something, but TODAY I'VE FOUND MYSELF CRUSHING ON MY OWN DRAWING. This has never happened before. I'm losing my mind. He is so pretty and I am so mad at myself for being this weak.
