Returning, he enlisted as chaplain in Heard´s brigade of New Jersey militia, July 12th, 1776, served under Washington during the battles of Long Island and Harlem Heights, Sickened of a camp epidemic, and died near Fort Washington, October 8th, 1776. Philip Fithian´s papers have been carefully Preserved in the family, and are now the property of Mrs. Edward W. Hitccock of Philadelphia, a descendant of the Fithian family, though whose courtesy this selection is now published. The papers consist of seven manuscript volumes, containing Fithian´s diary from 1766-67, and from problems, orations, and letter-books. They are at present deposited in the Princeton University Library for transcription. It was probably owing to the private nature of many of the letters addressed to "a young lady under the name of Laura" (Elizabeth Beatty), whom Fithian afterwards married, that these papers have not heretofore been published.
