In a letter from New Castle, Delaware from Benjamin K to his father he writes: Dear General. I expected to be moving about a long time ago (from his carriage accident in Boston where his leg was broken) but my wound heals slowly. I have lost my dear liitle son, Benjamin. He expired on the twenty sixth instant of what is called the summer complaint." Tell Harriet (his sister) that I will write a long letter as soon as I can get out."
