The Hessian Sniper Attack

It's unclear whether Raul ever read this note. It's possible that he mistook a skirmish the night before as the sneak attack that he'd been forewarned of. He canceled the Dawn Patrol outside Trenton the day after Christmas due to miserable weather and the aforementioned sickness and exhaustion of the troops. But it really might not have helped them much if they had done this Dawn Patrol and gotten a little bit more advanced warning that George Washington troops were incoming.
