Calendar of the correspondence 11 Errata . ^^^ Presidents of the Congress 682 Index . . 6^3 3 PREFATORY NOTE Under an Executive order of March 9, 1903, the Washington Papers were transferred from the Department of State to the Library of Congress. Long as the manuscripts had been in the possession of the Government, no list of the letters of Washington had ever been so much as attempted; and the letters written to him had been but imperfectly listed by Jared Sparks when engaged in preparing his "Writings of George AVashington " first published in 1833-37. The great size and historical importance of the collection demand a closer studj^, and a series of calendars generally descriptive of its contents. The first of these calendars deals only with the correspondence between the Gen- eral and the Continental Congress. The segregation in the Library of Congress of other collections offered an unusual opportunity to make the calendar complete so far as concerned the materials for the period covered. So that while the Washington Papers forms the basis of the calendar, related material is drawn from other sources, wherever the original is found in the Library of Congress. The various sources are the Washington Papers, the papers of the Continental Congress, and the papers of Robert Morris. I. THE WASHINGTON PAPEES. The arrangement of the Washington Papers is peculiar, and was due to the ingenuity of Jared Sparks. They are divided into two great series. The letters from and the letters to the General; and the let- ters from him during the Revolutionary War are subdivided into sub- series as follows: A. Letters to the President, Committees, and individual members of the Continental Congress. B. Letters and orders to officers of the Continental Army. C. Letters to the Governors and other civil officers of the States. D. Letters to foreign ministers, officers or individuals. E. Letters to officers in the service of the British Crown. F. Records of the Councils of War and opinions of the general officers on militarj'^ affairs. P. Private letters. 5 6 PREFATORY NOTE Before this division, which appears to have been due to the secreta- ries and aids of the General, had been perfected, copies of letters were kept in books irrespective of a distribution according to addressee. Four volumes of such letters exist and the contents have been drawn upon as needed for this calendar. The entire contents of Series A appear in this calendar as well as such letters and papers in the other series as were pertinent to the purpose. These letters are the first drafts, either in the writing of Washington or his aids, and are, for the most part, not signed. As the idea and not the language of the letter, when written by an aid, was Washington's, some effort has been made to identify the writer of the draft. The success is greater than was anticipated, and it is for the first time possible to measure the confidence reposed in his aids by the Commander-in-chief. It was a surprise to find some drafts or copies in the writing of Martha Washington; it was quite as surprising to learn the great number of papers in the writing of Alexander Hamilton, John Laurens and Tench Tilghman. It is still more sur- prising to find elaborate drafts entirely in the writing of Washington himself, and often prepared in the most critical periods of the war. As a general and useful guide to the writers of these drafts a list of those serving as aids and secretaries to Washington, with a page of their writing, is added (p. 9). Outside of Series A a few letters have been drawn from Series P, and from the four combined volumes. Of these two series there exist transcripts prepared by Richard Varick in 1781-3. A few missing originals have been made good from these transcripts. The Letters to Washington, comprising 117 volumes, form the second great source of materials listed in this calendar. Some attempt had been made by Mr. Sparks to bind in separate volumes what papers had been received from the Continental Congress; but the attempt was imperfectly planned and very imperfectly carried into effect. The result has been that not only were those Congress volumes calendared (Vols. 89-98) but the entire collection has been examined for papers that had been misplaced. II. PAPERS OF THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS. The third great source of papers were the Papers of the Continental Congress. A rough list of these papers was prepared when Peter Force was compiling the "American Archives,"' but it is a list useless for historical purposes, conveying no idea of the contents of the differ- ent papers or of the relations of one to another. Crudely planned it was still more crudely prepared, and it is impossible to trace even the location of a single letter and the response made, or of a single paper and its enclosures. The letters of Washington to the Congress fill PKEFATOKY NOTE 7 eleven volumes, and transcripts were made of them in nine volumes under the direction of the Secretary, Charles Thomson. This series, undoubtedly the finest series of Washington letters in existence, con- tains many holographs of Washington, and many written by his aids, with a large number of enclosures relating to civil and military affairs. The writer of the body of the papers has in each case been identified, so far as was possible. The letter books of the Presidents of Congress (those of John Hancock are not in the collection), and the Dispatch and Committee books gave much additional material. Of high importance was the series of reports of committees of Congress on letters of Wash- ington. The letter books of Robert Morris, while Superintendent of Finance, were searched and whatever was written to Washington was inserted in this calendar. In the preparation of so extensive a list certain details were omitted which might seem of importance. The same letter may exist in four forms: 1, the draft; 2, the Varick transcript of the draft; 3, the letter sent to the President, and 4, the Thomson transcript of this letter. It has not been thought necessary to mention the letter in more than one of its forms. Should a closer study of a letter be desirable the inves- tigator can easily learn whether the other forms are in the Library. Series A, of the drafts forms the basis of the list, and is the more interesting as being the form of paper nearest to headquarters and while in process of composition. The changes and additions clearly show this process. The dates of replies to letters are noted in the calendar wherever they are to be found endorsed on the original letter (an asterisk [*] denotes that the reply is in the Library of Con- gress) ; but no attempt had been made to insert such information when not so noted as the chronological arrangement of this calendar readily lends itself to the uses of the investigator. The number of pages occupied by a paper in a book of transcripts is not given, as the infor- mation would convey no true conception of the length of the original paper. While it would be useful to indicate where each document could be found in print (if it has been printed), the task would be greater than the value of the results. References have been confined to the Sparks and the Ford editions of the " Writings of Washington," and to the " Journals of the Continental Congress." The true first document of the calendar is Washington's paper read in Congress June 16, 1776, accepting the command of the Continental army. The last document was properly the resignation of his com- mission in 1783. Two entries of 1784 were added to complete the story of incidents occurring before the resignation; and one of 1789, announcing the election of Washington to the Presidency under the Federal Constitution, fittingly closed his connection with the Conti- nental Congress, and marked his re-entrance into public life under the 8 PKEFATOEY NOTE new political conditions which put an end to the existence of that revolutionary, but then almost powerless, legislative bod3^ It would be useless to undertake to summarize the nature of this collection or to dwell upon its importance to history and biography. It is enough to say that it is unique, most notable and of imperishable interest, embodying the history of the Eevolution and the acts of the leading men of that time. The calendar has been prepared by Mr. John C. Fitzpatrick, of the Division of Manuscripts.
