Wilmington Market Day and Nighttime Escape Amid War
In Wilmington Delaware after Brandywine, townsfolk prepare for market with wagons carrying butter eggs milk and vegetables. A British patrol arrests plan to seize rebel officers but Nancy Tilton and Captain Bellach improvise a night escape by disguising a dropsy ruse and fleeing by river, aided by a ferryman and a daring boat crossing toward Dover.

Mutilated silver coins rejected by Treasury
It is stated that silver coins with holes bored or punched will not be received by the Treasury. Silver value removed by holes reduces up to 13 cents per dollar. Individuals rarely refuse mutilated coins, but manufacturers suffer as price cannot be exchanged for certificates or greenbacks. Fraud penalties include fines up to 9,000 and two years in prison.
