Hessian Listers, Thanks to the kind replies of many on the List, as well as the List Archives, I have entered an inquiry at the Carlisle Barracks in PA (apparently, Canada has a separate holding repository): < http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usamhi/research.cfm > The query is worded as follows, and I will let the List know of any success I might have (am told this can take up to six months): I understand you have the microfiche collection (G.K.Hall's "Hessian Documents in the American Revolution"), and the index to same? I also understand that this contains the TRANSLATED diary of a Hessian Lt. Ritter, and that he was of the von Knyphausen Regiment? If at all possible, I would like to obtain a fiche or hard copy of this Lt.'s translated diary. I do hope you can help, and I will gladly cover any and all charges this may incur. Thank you in advance. Hope this is of some interest? By the way, I could find no Burgoyne translation of this diary. One other repository (that supposedly owns the original diary) is the Morristown National Historical Park in NJ? Bob Fetters, descendant of Cpl. Johann Henrich Hammer of Capt. Borck's Company
