"New Windsor i8th April 1777. Dear Sir, Being from home when your Excellency's letter of the 31st ult. was left at my house prevented my answering it by the return of the Express and I have not had an opportunity since before this without sending an express for the purpose. Before the receipt of it I had, in consequence of power giv'en me by the Convention of this State, ordered out about 1200 of the Militia of the Counties of Ulster and Orange, 500, of them to relieve Col'l. Pauling at the Fort near Sydmans Bridge and do the duties which had been assigned him as the time for which his Reg't. stood engaged was expired — the re- mainder to reinforce the garrison at Fort Montgomery and carry on the works necessary for its defence. I also ordered from Dutchess 800 and 350 from Westchester to reinforce the garrisons on the West side of Hudson's River and to give protection to the inhabitants of the latter country in which for want of proper force, the Enemy make frequent invasions and take off large droves of cattle, horses and other supplies. The unhappy affairs at Peeks Kill and the apprehensions entertained by our Convention that has induced me to take this step without waiting to get your Excellency's approbation of the measure. I would fain hope however that it will not be disagreeable as tho' if wanted they are to continue in service till the first of August yet they may be dismissed at any time before and more especially as they are drawn out in such a way as to promote instead of checking the recruit- ing service and I have no doubt but it will be better to compleat our Reg't. for the standing army march quicker than they — otherwise would have been. As yet not half of the, above number of these Mili- tia have been marched and I fear the whole will not be easily got out if ever so much wanted. I most sincerely thank your Excellency for the very polite and kind manner which he mentions my appointment to a Command in the Continental Army at the same time that my precarious state of health and want of Military privileges would have rather induced me to have led a more retired life than that of the Army had I been consulted on the occasion and at liberty of pursuing my own instincts, but as early on the present contest I laid it down as a maxim not to refuse my but (the poor) services to my Country in any way they should think proper to appoint me. On this principle I can't refuse the honor done me by Congress and shall be happy if in my best endeavors to serve my Country in the Military line shall at any time prove so successful as to merit your Excellency's approbation," etc. 58 CLINTON, George. A. L. ~S. to his brother James at Little Britain. "Fort Montgomery 26th April 1777. Dr. Brother : By Express late last night from Peeks Kill we was informed that the Enemy consisting of twelve square rigged ves- sels and a number of lesser ones had got up as far as Dobb's Ferry so that by the afternoon even with the light southerly air that now is, we may expect them this way. I think proper to inform you of this by Express and I submit it to you whether it would not be best for you to come down immediately and to give orders for the Militia of your Neighbourhood at least (which is safe from Internal Enemies) to come in to the reinforcement of the garrison without delay," etc. 10 C.

Washingtons letter, copy of which I enclose you, were intended to supply the place of the Continental Troops to be senj: from thence to the Northard and there- fore to be esteemed in a secondary point of view as a reinforcement to your army. — Your opinion respecting the movements of the Enemy to the Southard perfectly agrees with what has been always my own on that occasion and it is now beyond a doubt that such were then their intentions. By a letter from Gen'l. Washington dated at Chester the 1st Inst, he informs me that the day before, the Enemy had left the Cape of Delaware and were steering Eastward — that their late movements were apparently to draw him off and to form a junction of their two armies before he would be in a situation to prevent it. — He therefore requested me immediately to draw out all the Militia of the State that I could probably muster to oppose the Enemy's South- ern Army till he should arrive at Hudson's River for which he in- tended to march with the utmost expedition and requested me to re- pair to Fort Montgomery and again take upon myself the Command of that Fort until he should arrive. * * * * I would fain hope that our Eastern neighbors would at length see their danger and the duty they owe their Country and turn out with more spirit. We are told here that large numbers are on their march to your assistance. How far this can be relied upon you are best able to judge," etc. 60 CLINTON, George. A. L. 3 pages folio, "Aug.

Gentlemen, The flurry of business occasioned by calling out the Militia for reinforcing our Northern army and the meeting of the legislators has prevented my answering your letter of the ist ult; as early as I could have wished. The late success attending our exer- tions to the Westward having obliged the enemy to raise the seige of Fort Schuyler and abandon their attempts in that Quarter with loss and disgrace and the strong reinforcements which already have and are daily joining the armies under Generals Gates and Lincoln has greatly Book Auctioneers. ii Continued. changed the fac6 of affairs to the Northward which not long since were truly critical and alarming. General Gates has advanced with the army under his immediate command which is from the best ac- counts I have been able to gather about 10,000 strong to the North of Stillwater where he is throwing a bridge across the river and laying out works to defend that pass. General Lincoln with about 25,000 lies to the Eastward in the Grants at a Town called Pawlet. The enemy's advanced party is at VanVeghten's in or near Saraghtoga and another body between that and Fort Edwards where they have also erected a bridge across the River and have their boats. By the latest accounts of the disposition of Gen'l. Burgoyne's Army it appears as if he intended speedily to move forward and before this reaches you it is highly probable that some very decisive Blow will be struck. It is said and credited that Burgoyne has destroyed his own boats in the lake for which if true there is no accounting unless he means to render his people desperate by cutting off all possibility of a retreat. — Which however in my opinion is more likely to occasion desertions than to produce the supposed effect. — The failure of the enemy to the West- ward has lost them the confidence of the Indians the warriors of whom (the Oneidas excepted) has pretty generally joined St. Leger. Within these few days past a number of the Sachems and Warriors of the different tribes of the Six Nations have come to Albany to hold a treaty with our Com'rs and it is said to make a tender of their ser- vices and join our Army most of them being well armed. I am informed by letters by express from Gen'l. Putnam that a large number of the enemy with several pieces of artillery had crossed from "Speten Devil" on Friday and Saturday last to Fort Lee and marched to Hackinsack, that they were joined there by another party from Staten Island who took their route through Elizabeth Town, Newark &c that by the last accounts they were encamped at Zobrie- ske's Mills about 4 miles West of Hackensack on the road to Paramus and amounted to about 5000 — Gen'l. McDougall crossed the river to prevent their penetrating into the Country and I have ordered out eleven regiments of the Militia of this State to strengthen the Posts in the Highlands and to reinforce the Armies under Gen'l. Putnam and the better to enable Gen'l. McDougal to oppose the enemy. Gen'l. Putnam also informs me that he is advised and believes that the enemy have received a considerable reinforcement lately at New York which must be the case or their numbers in Jersey much mistaken. What their designs are time only can discover. Our anx- iety now is chiefly about our affairs; to the Southward we fear for the fate of Philadelphia and of our public stores near Sweeds's Ferry, and we still dread niore that by too strenuously contending to save the farms we may lose what is of much more importance our Army tho we repose the greatest confidence in our General, etc. 62 CLINTON, George.

"I am truly sensable that the security of the North River is a matter of the utmost importance to the United States in the present war & that .the safety of this State in a more particular manner depends upon it. It gives me real concern therefore that so little has as yet been done. * * * * When the enemy left the river it was my opinion that as many of the Troops from the Northern Department should be sent to reinforce the Grand Array under your Excellency's more immediate command as could be posibly spared. That no greater number should be left in this Quarter than would be barely sufficient to cover that part of the Country which is more immediately exposed to _ the Ravages of the enemy and arrest them from sending large reinforcements to Gen. Howe's army and carry on the necessary works for the security of the River^one brigade of Continentals Troops with the Militia, then our service with such of this State as I should be able to call out, I con- cede is fully sufficient for these purposes. * * * * 1 am clearly of opinion that a strong fortress ought to be erected either on the opposite side of the Creek from where Fort Montgomery stood or at the West Point opposite Fort Constitution, the latter I prefer as being the most defensible ground because the navigation of the river there is more difficult and uncertain, — is something narrower than it is at the former place. A new chain should be procured if possible and the boom, which is nearly completed, stretched across the river, this with the Chiveaux De Frize completed and a floating bat- 'tery or two and some open boats, I am persuaded would answer every purpose," etc. 64 CLINTON, George.

I had reason to beUeve that there were large arrears of pay due to the Soldiery, that they were bodly cloathed and the business of the department much deranged so that to have made proper and timely provision for such an enterprise it would have been necessary to have set about it much earlier." 67 CLINTON, George.

I shall endeavor to keep between them and your Army w't two Continental Regiments and some Militia and hope by this means to keep them from reaching Albany, indeed I am ,sure it can be done provided you establish a post on this side for us to retire to.

Original draft of letter to Gen. Washington, informing him in detail of the attacks of the enemy and the burning of Kings- ton and his efforts to prevent it with the small force under him. "I had the honor of receiving your Excellency's letter of the iSth instant last evening and am happy to hear that the enemy have been repulsed in their attempts upon the "Cheveau de Prize" since it would seem that their quarters at Philadlphia may be rendered rather inconvenient unless they can gain possession of the river. Two days after the loss of Fort Montgomery, 2 Bow Gallies and an armed schooner belonging to the enemy proceeded up the river as far as the "Cheveux de Prize" Near New Windsor, we had the Brass two pounders then only and but a few rounds of shot fit for them, we sent them with such success as to cause them to return down the river.' The next day the same vessels with a small brig come up a second time and all our shot being expended they passed the "Cheveaux de Prize" which (on nights the artisan imployed on that business being taken ofif to work on the Basin) was not quite compleated and sailed up the River as far as Poughkeepsie burning some mills and other buildings on the shores and then returned. On the ISth Instant thirty sail of the Enemy great and small came past the "Cheveaux de prize" with a strong southerly wind and stood along to the Northward. I immediately gave orders to the Troops under my Command to march for Kingston to which place I immediately preceeded with all the dispatch in my power and ar- rived there in the evening. The Enemy's fleet then lay eight miles below the landing place of the Town. In the morning they got under way with the Tide of Plood and a light Northerly wind and at, high water about noon were opposite the landing place two miles from Kingston where they came to and after making the necessary dispo- sitions eflfected a landing under cover of a pretty smart cannonade. I have had various accounts of their numbers from two thousand to seven hundred but as Gen'l. Vaughan commanded in person from that and other circumstances in the different accounts I am led to be- lieve they were about fifteen hundred strong. We had favorable ground as could be 'wished but it was defended by about one hundred and fifty Militia only who had been drawn up to oppose the enemy upon a small plain near the water as the landing was made to the Northward of that place so a to come up on the flank of the few men we had. Col'l. Pauling who commanded ordered a retreat to the 22 C. F. Libbie & Co. Continued. gorge of the hills which was more defensible but when there the enemy were so near that the men could not be formed but retired with the utmost precipitation. A second attempt was made to rally them about half a mile from the town but unfortunately without success as the enemy could have flanked them in that place and would probably have destroyed the whole party. Having most anxiously tho in vain expected the arrival of the Troops from New Windsor I Was obliged to retire from the town about four o'clock a few minutes after which it was in flames. * * * * There was no blood spilt on this occasion except an old negro and a disaffected prisoner who were both pierced by the bayonet and the latter killed.

"When I undertook,, at the request of Gen'l.

I then clearly saw that it would be impos- sible for me to protect the Country unless I could be reinforced from the Northern Army which from your letter I had 'good reason to expect. I wrote also to Gen. Dickenson of New Jersey upon the same subject and I am informed that he, notwithstanding the ex- posed situation of his own State hath ordered six hundred men to my brothers assistance at New Windsor.

"Little Britain, April loth, 1782." Sir, I am under the mortifying necessity of informing your Excellency that from certain late resolves of Congress, I find myself a second time superceeded by the promotion of a Junior Officer and I should be wanting in candor if I omitted to mention that my feelings on this occasion are the more sensibly wounded by the reflection that the basis on which this promotion is founded is declared in the minits of Congress to be a letter from your Excellency mentioning the merits of the gentleman promoted in his service during the seige of York Town when I had flattered myself that my conduct had not deserved censure. In a former instance of a similar nature I was silent as the services of my country has ever been my primary object I submitted "to it from a presumption that it might possibly have been a sacrifice ■due to political interest, and more especially as this gentleman was -about to retire from the continent and consequently could not be in a position to exercise command over those who had formerly been Jiis superiors and because I could not but believe that Congress ■upon a reconsideration would, have repaired the injury. At an early period of the war I entered into the service of my Country and I have continued in it during ' all the vicisitudes of fortune and am conscious that I have exerted my best endeavors to serve it with fidelity. I have never sought emolument or promo- tion, and as the different commands I have held were Unsolicited, tion, and as the different commands I have held were Unsolicited, I might have reasonably expected if my services were no longer wanted to have been indulged at least with a decent dismission. But, sir, however great my inclinations I cannot consistant vvitli my honor or my felings continue any longer in service under so partial and injurious a degredation in the face of an established rule I have therefore as the only resource left me to intreat that your Excellency will be pleased to accept the Resignation of my Commission or if this should be improper that I may be permitted to withdraw from the Army until I can have an oportunity of making a tender of it to Congress." 155 CLINTON, James.

Besides, as their favorite command, they will be destitute of the shadow of an excuse if they do not join the Army with the utmost diligence and alacrity. With the brave New Hampshire Militia, Morgan's, Livingston's, and VanCortlandt's Corps, joined to our own Militia, I cannot but think, Heaven not being unpropitious, that General Burgoine will be obliged to consult his safety by a precipi- tate retreat; perhaps from his great confidence, even that may become impracticable.

William Howe, which I believe to be the case; he will either land his troops at Amboy, and march by the lower roads to Mount Holly, to support any dessignated attack upon Fort Mifflin and the fortified pass of Delaware River. — Or he will land at Elizabeth Town and march by Brunswick anH Princeton, to Trenton, in order to facilitate Sir. Wil- liam Howe's retreat, cross the Delaware and through the Jersies. In either attempt I am clearly of opinion, that all the Troops I sent to your assistance, with all that can properly from your neighbourhood be added to them should march without delay to Morris Town, and for their further operations be governed in great measure by the move- ments of the enemy : — of these, the Commanding General should pro- cure the best intelligence. — If Sir. Henry Clinton marches towards Mount Holly, Our Army will of course move directly to Princeton, and hang upon his rear and right flank. If he marches towards Tren- ton, Our Army will march to Somerset's Court House and be ready to move, as he moves towards Trenton, our General carefully ac- quainting General Washington with these orders, and the enemy's motions, and receiving his directions for the co-operation of the Army." 216 GATES, Horatio. 2 pp. folio.

"Philadelphia, Feb. 24th, 1783," (to General Washington) An exceedingly interesting letter and of great historical im- portance, referring to devising a plan for carrying the 8th article of the confederation into execution ; enclosing the proceedings ^n differ- ent stages by which the delegates may see the part that he has acted; being left in a minority, he explains his motives. His opinion that the article was ill-judged and his reasons'. A reference to source of reve- nues of the United Provinces ; comparison between the extent of ter- ritory, population, etc., of the United Provinces and Great Britain and that of the United Provinces and Swiss Cantons ; remarks on taxation and agricultural sources of the countries. "The truth is the ability of a country to pay taxes depends on infinite combinations of physical and moral causes, which can never be accommodated to any general rule, climate, soil, productions, advantages for navigation, government, genius of the people, progress of arts and industry, and an endless variety of circumstances." Suggestions are made in regard to taxation and his opinion ex- pressed of future results. "This idea however was not at the period of framing the confederation, and is not yet agreeable to the Spirit of the times. To futurity we must leave the discovery how far this spirit is wise or fooHsh." He refers to the power of Congress in regard to taxation and the restraints thereon. "Inequality is inherent in the theory of the con- federation, and in the practice that inequality must increase in pro- portion to the honesty or dishonesty of the component parts^ This vice will either in its consequences reform the federal constitution or dissolve it." He speaks of the taxation of numbers being preferable to land taxation. "Modes might be devised to ascertain the former with tolerable precision, but I am persuaded the experiment will prove that the value of all the land in each State cannot be ascertained with anything like exactness." He speaks of the disadvantages of both methods. "I have in- dulged myself in these remarks to show that I have little expectation of success from any mode of carrying the article in question into exe- cution upon equitable principles. . , . though I would heartily join in a representation of the difficulties (of which any man of sense might be sensible on examination) that occur in the execution of the plan to induce the States to consent to a change, yet as this was not the disposition of a Majority of Congress, I would have assented to any mode of attempting it which was not either obviously mischievous or impracticable." He refers to the plan of actual valuation of each State by itself and the poor results where it has been in operation; consequent jeal- ousies, etc. The proposal of a revision by Congress could not be 46 C. F. Libbie &■ Co. Continued. exercised; should States return defective valuations, it would be dif- ficult to find sufficient evidence. He expresses his opinion that the plan is ineffectual ; the quan- tity of land is no criterion to determine value; commissioners are not capable of estimating the value of improved and un-improved land, the quality of soil, value of houses, etc. He refers to the distinguish- ing white inhabitants from black as being totally foreign to the con- federation. He speaks of the rule laid down for the direction of his conduct and says : "I would rather incur the negative inconveniences of delay than the positive mischief of injudicious expedients." . . "In gen- eral I rqgard the present moment probably the dawn of peace pecu- liarly critical; and the measures which it shall produce as of great importance to the future welfare of these States." He refers to a motion introduced by himself, Nothwithstanding his opposition, now that Congress has made a decision, he hopes that the States will cheer- fully comply. "Unless each State is governed by this principle, there is an end to the Union." He refers, under date of Feb. 27, to Mr. Morris' resolution to resign by the first of June, if adequate funds are not provided by that time, and makes comments thereon. ' "This will be a severe stroke to our affairs — no man fit for the office will be willing to supply his place for the very reason he resigns," etc. 223 HANCOCK, John, Signer of the Declaration. D.

They left Amboy on Monday night, and General Scot (of Virginia) with a party of 4 or 500, took possession of it on Tuesday Morning. His Excellency is well informed that a great Number of Transports are gone from York, in order to receive them, as it is imagined. If the North River be their next ob- ject, it would (be) idle and affrontrie to say that the General will move this way, but this I might beg leave to mention that the Bridges between here and Headqr's, as \vell as those between this and Kingsferry, are by no means fit for the Army to pass.

"I believe you are no stranger to the deplorable circumstances our army in Canada were reduced to, immediately after the death of General Montgomerie. I myself am a witness of, the amazing fortitude and persever- ance of that handfull which remained under Genl Arnold, who with a number much less than half the Garrison, kept up the Blockade of Quebec for some months untill ' reinforcements arrived from these States : it was at that critical time the General stood in great need of the assistance, and friendship of the Canadians, who although they were well disposed towards the american army, and their cause, yet were frightened by their Priests, who threatened them with Excom- munication, and had actually refused every church privelege to any who served or inclined to serve on the side of the Americans ; On this occasion the person above spoken of step'd forth, and offered his ser- vices as a clergy-man for the Canadians, which good poHcy, and the Exigency of our Affairs, inchned the Genl to accept, and Mr Lobenier was accordingly appointed chaplain to a. Canadian Regt. much to the satisfaction of those poor men, who thought their eternall fellicity depended on the assistance of a Priest," etc. Printed in full in Mass. Hist. Soc.

A. L. 3 pp. folio. Copy of letter to the Committee of Safety. A valuable historical letter shortly after the retreat from Fort Edward before the advance of Gen. Burgoyne. "Our Continental Force is between twenty-seven and twenty- eight hundred — with this small body we have to encounter a much more Numerous Body of Enemy ; well appointed, flushed with success, and daily increasing by the acquisition of Tories — Happy I should still be, in some degree, if I could close this melancholy tale here; but every letter I receive from the County of Tryon, advises me that the inhabi- tants of it will lay down their arms, unless I support them with Con- tinental Troops. From what I have said you will see the impossibility of my complying with their request. The District of Schoharie has also pointedly intimated that unless Continental Troops are sent them, they will also submit to the enemy. Should it be asked what line of Conduct I mean to hold amidst this variety of difficulties and Distress. I would answer to dispute every inch of ground with General Bur- goyne, and retard his descent into the Country as long as possible, with- out the least hopes of being able to prevent it ultimately, unless I am reinforced from General Washington or by a respectable Body of the Militia. The former I am advised I am not to have ; and whence to procure the latter I know not. I have written to the Eastern States but do not expect timely succors from thence. I must therefore look up to you ; but tho' I am under the fullest conviction that you will readily afford me every aid in your power, yet I fear it cannot be much. In this situation you will be pleased to permit me to observe. 6o C. F. Libbie & Co. Continued. that I think the Council of Safety ought to press General Washington for an immediate reinforcement, at least fifteen hundred good Cpn- tinental Troops. * * * * I may seem to labour under ideal apprehensions — I believe they are not so — They are founded on a reflection that if General Burgoyne can penetrate to Albany, the force which is certainly coming by the way of Oswego will find no difficulty in reaching the Mohawk River, and that. being arrived there, they will be joined not by Tories only, but by every person that finds himself capable of removing and wishes to make his peace with the enemy, and by the Body of the six nations — These forming a Junction with Burgoyne at Albany whilst General Howe presses up the River, it will either put General Washington be- tween two fires, or drive him to the necessity of filing off into New England. * * * * I have thus ventured freely to give my sentiments. I hope they will not be thought to arise from a principle that would dis- grace a Soldier. I assure you that I do not, and I hope my countrymen will never have occasion to blush for me, whatever may be the event of the campaign," etc. 317 SCHUYLER, Maj. Gen. Philip. A. L. S. 2 pp. folio.

"The British fleet which carried a reinforcement to Rhode Island and which hovered off New London for a day or two is returned to New York They passed thro yesterday^ and the day before and ap- peared to have the troops on board. The manouvres of the enemy at New York indicate some movement. Some think they are prepar- ing to quit the Continent immediately. I am not of that number con- ceiving that so capital a movement will not take place until the sense of parliament can be obtained and that we shall hear what that is before they withdraw their troops. I believe however the}' will leave us in December. I do not think they will attempt to penetrate up the Hudson's River or move against this Army." * * * * (Clinton's answer.) "The frontiers of Albany and Tryon appear to be in a quiet state which, by the bye is not the case witii Ulster and Orange. The Indians and Tories continue to commit Depredations there, last week they destroyed three barns back of Rochester, killed two men and carried off two prisoners, and a small party of the Militia stationed in that quarter who pursued and fell in with them (by the conduct of a brave but imprudent officer) had their officers a Lieut, and two men killed without doing the enemy any injury that I can learn." 318 SCHUYLER, Philip.

In this situation every Reinforcement will be welcome ; but the one you mention from Ulster & Dutchess is not a very capital one and if it is not to arrive at Albany until ten Days after the Date of your letter, I fear, it will come too late to be of any service. I wish you therefore to hasten it up the soonest possible with directions to repair to my Head Quarters, where that will be seems at present to depend much more on General Burgoyne's pleasure than mine. From Charlotte County we have had very few men, at present none, nor can it be expected that they should turn out, if even a great Majority were Whigs, the Reverse of which is unhappily the case, as they are employed in bringing their effects down the Country or driving their cattle to the enemy. I greatly apprehend that General Howe is only amusing General Wash- ington and that his Fleet from Egg Harbour is only tacking off and on, in order to return to Hudson's River as soon as General Washington is in such a situation as that he cannot make an opposition to prevent their coming up the River," etc. 319 SCHUYLER, Philip.

Dear Sir, General Ten Broeck has ordered out the whole of the Militia; but I fear very few will march, and that most of them will behave as the Schohary and Schenectady Militia have done. How that is you will see by the enclosed, which are copies of letters I have this moment received. The people are desponding — They want to have their spirits roused — Nothing short of your coming up to Albany with the Senate and House of Representatives will do it, or if they are not yet formed, with the Council of Safety. We expect the enemy will move soon, and as our strength is daily decreasing we shall again be obliged to decamp and retreat before them — If.Burgoyne gets to Albany our State is gone in all its extent; for the people who would not turn out to prevent the enemy from . . penetrating, will not be able to do it when they are got in." 320 SCHUYLER, Philip.

McDougall this moment received, places their intentions beyond the power of misconception. Several Trans- ports have anchored at Dob's Ferry — and mean, in my opinion, to divert our attention, if possible, from their movements towards the Dela- ware. At any rate they may attempt to make some incursion into the Country back of this place, and if they can, seize the passes thro' the mountains, thereby aiming to cut off the communication between the army here, and the North River. To frustrate such a dis'gn effectually, I must repeat my desire, that you would post as good a Body of Troops in the Mountains, West of the River, as you can collect and spare from the Garrison — this will serve not only to retain our possession of the passes, but will awe the disaffected & protect our friends.''

Dear Sir, Your vigilance in providing a proper force to oppose the enemy, and the alacrity with which the militia have assembled, afford me great ■ satisfaction. If your efforts are seasonable and skillfully seconded by , your eastern neighbours, we may hope, that General Burgoyne will find it equally difficult either to make a further progress, or to effect a retreat. You are the best judge with respect to the length of service to be required from the militia. However, as their assistance is a resource, which must be sparingly employed, I would have them detained no longer than is absolutely necessary. The excuse of want of confidence in the general officers, which has hith- erto been alleged by the eastern States, for withholding those rein- forcements from the northern army, which were expected from them, will be obviated by the presence of Major-General Gates. The re- solves of Congress, which relate to the recruiting of the army, will have reached you before this time, and you will have acted in consequence. By a resolve of the 3d of August, the commanding officer of the north- 70 C. F. Libbie & Co.

Portion only. Printed in Sparks' Writings of Washington, Vol. 5, p. 29-32. "Camp, at Cross Roads, 16 August, 1777. Dear Sir, I see, with the most sensible pleasure, the exertions of your State, dismembered as it is, and under every discourage- ment and disadvantage. I lament, that any causes are sufficiently pow- erful to prevent that effectual aid from your eastern neighbors, which the interest of the public cause, and the immediate safety of your particular State, so pressingly demanded at this time. But, though it is dilatory in coming, I cannot but hope it will still come, before it is too late. I imagine one cause, and not the least material, of their delay, is an apprehension of Gen. Howe's army. It were to be wished that his designs were once reduced to certainty. This I should be in hopes would serve to remove that inactivity and indecision, which I believe proceed in a great measure from suspense and uncertainty. I am however advised, that a body of New Hampshire militia, under General Stark, had joined General Lincoln at Bennington, and that another of Massachusetts militia was partly arrived, and the rest arriving at the same place. A tolerable body of men once collected there would make General Burgoyne anxious for his rear, oblige him to advance circumspectly, and to leave such strong posts behind, as must make his main body very weak, and extremely capable of being repulsed by the force we shall have in front. I should not be very uneasy for the issue if I could once see our northern army recovered from their present dejection, and restored to a tolerable degree of confidence and animation. In addition to the! two regiments, which are gone from Peekskill, I am forwarding as fast as possible, to join the northern army. Colonel Morgan's corps of riflemen, amounting to about five hundred. These are all chosen men, selected from the army at large, well acquainted with the use of rifles, and with that mode of fighting, which is necessary to make them a good counterpoise to the Indians ; and they have distinguished themselves on a variety of occasions, since the formation of the corps, in skirmishes with the enemy, I expect the most eminent services from them ; and I shall be mistaken if their presence does not go far towards producing a gen- eral desertion among the savages. I should think it would be well, even before their arrival, to begin to circulate these ideas, with proper embellishments, throughout the country and in the army; and to take pains to communicate them to the enemy. It would not be amiss, among other things, to magnify their numbers. I am of the opinion, with the Council of Safety, that your presence to the northward might have a very happy influence, and, if it were compatible with the many other calls there are and will be upon you, I could wish to see you with the northern army at the head of a militia of your State. From some expressions in a letter, which I have seen, written by General Lin- coln to General Schuyyer, I am led to infer, that it is in contemplation Book Auctioneers. ' 71 Continued. to unite all the militia and Continental troops in one body, and make an opposition wholly in front. If this be really the intention, I should think it o very ineligible plan. An enemy can always act with more vigor and effect when they have nothing to apprehend for their flanks and rear, than when they have ; and it is one of the most approved and most universally practiced manoeuvres of war, to keep their fears con- tinually awake on these accounts, and, when circumstances permit, to be actually in condition to give them serious annoyance in those parts. In- dependent of the inconveniences, that attend a situation where the rear and fianke are constantly exposed to the insults of light parties, which may at every moment be harassing them; the necessity of never losing sight of the means of a secure retreat, which ought to be the object of an officer's care, must be exceedingly embarrassing, where there is a force in such a position as to endanger it. If a respectable body of men were to be stationed on the Grants, it would undoubtedly have the effects intimated above, and would repder it not a little difficult for General Burgoyne to keep the necessary communications open ; and they would frequently afford opportunities of intercepting his con- voys. If there should be none there, he might advance with security, leaving small posts behind, and might draw his supplies regularly and without interruption ; than which nothing could tend more to facili- tate his operations and give them success. These reasons make it clearly my opinion, that a sufficient body of militia should always be reserved in a situation proper to answer those purposes. If there should be more collected than is requisite for 'this use, the surplusage may, with propriety be added to the main body of the army. I am not, however, so fully acquainted with every circumstance, that ought to be taken into consideration, as to pretend to do anything more than advise in the matter. Let those on the spot determine and act as appears to them most prudent. P. S. It is most probable that General Schuyler will have put it out of the enemy's power to avail themselves of the convenience of Water Carriage by removing all Boats out of their way. If however, this necessary precaution should not have occur'd to him, it will be proper to remind him that all means of facilitating their progress down the river should be cut of? as speedily as possible." , 368 WASHINGTON.

Dear Sir, The situation of our affairs in this quarter calls for every aid and for every effort. General Howe, by various manoeuvres ' and marching high up the Schuylkill, as if he meant to turn our right flank, found means by countermarching to pass the river, several miles below us, last night, which is fordable almost in every part, and he is now fast advancing towards Philadelphia. I therefore desire, that, without a moments loss of time, you will detach as many effective rank and file, under proper genefels and other officers, as will make the whole number, including those with General McDougall, amount to twenty-five hundred privates and non-commissioned fit for duty. The corps under General McDougall, to my great surprise, by a letter from him some days ago, consisted only of nine hundred and eleven. You 72 C. F. Libbie & Co. •Continued. will direct the ofificers, commanding the detachment now ordered, to proceed as expeditiously as they can to reinforce me. The route through Morristown and over Coryell's Ferry will be the best for them to pursue. Before they arrive at the Ferry, they will hear where I am ; l>ut that they may know their destination, when they are within two days march of it, they are to advise me by express, and I will write on the subject. I must urge you by every motive, to send on this detach- ment without the least possible delay. No considerations are to prevent it. It is our first object to defeat, if possible, the army now opposed to tis here. That the passes in the Highlands may be perfectly secure, you will immediately call in all your forces now on command at out- posts. You must not think of covering a whole country by dividing them ; and when they are ordered in and drawn together, they will be fully competent to repel any attempt, that can be made by the enemy irom below in their present situation. Besides if you are threat- ened with an attack, you must get what aid you can from the militia. The detachment will bring their baggage, but I wish them to come with no more than will be absolutely necessary. That you may not hesitate about complying with this order, you are to consider it as peremptory and not to be dispensed with. Colonel Malcolm's regiment will form a part of the detachment. P.S. The troops now ordered need not bring any artillery. The enclosed you will send General Gates by Express immediately. Note : Sparks' Writings of Washington. * General Putnam had formed a plan for a separate attack on the enemy at Staten Island^ Paulus Hook, York Island, and Long Island at the same time. He had obtained accurate knowledge of the enemy's strength, and Governor Trumbull had encouraged him to ex- pect large reinforcements of militia from Connecticut for this pur- pose, which, with the Continental forces under his command, and the aids he might procure from New York and New Jersey, he believed would enable him to execute his design. — Ms. Letter, September 13th.

Clinton requesting the Governor's opinion as to the disposition of his Army on Hudson's River. Dear Sir, The first division of the Army moved from hence this morning, about four miles, to give room to the Second. They will reach Kokiate tomorrow evening, and the North liver the next day. I shall halt the remainder hereabouts a few days, to refresh the men. I am yet undetermined as to the expediency of throwing the Army immediately over the North River. I will state my reasons for hesi- tating, and shall beg to hear your sentiments upon the matter. Upon conversing with the Q. M. and Commissary General and Commissary of Forage, upon the prospect of supplies, they all agree, that the Army can 'be much more easily subsisted upon the West, than upon the East side of the River. The country on this side is more plentiful in regard to forage : and flour, which is the article for which we shall be most likely to be distressed, coming from the Southward, ■will have a shorter transportation, and consequently the supply more Book Auctioneers. 7Z Continued. easily kept up. We are beside in a country devoted to the Enemy, and gleaning it,, takes so much from them. Was this the only point to be determined, there would not remain a moments doubt; but the principal matter to be considered, is, (upon a supposition that the enemy mean to operate up the North River) whether the Army, being all or part upon this side the river, can afford a sufficient and timely support to the posts, should they put such a design in execution. Upon this point then, Sir, I request your full and candid opin- ion. You are well acquainted with the condition of the posts, and know what opposition they are at present capable of making, when sufficiently manned which ought in iny opinion, to be immediately done. After that, you will please to take into consideration, whether any, and what advantages may be derived from the Army's being upon the East side of the River, and if there, what position would be most eligible. The neighbourhood of the White Plains after leaving suffi- cient Garrisons in our rear, strikes me at present. We have the strength of the ground, and we cover a considerable extent of Country, and draw forage which would otherwise fall into the hands of the Enemy. In forming your opinion, be pleased to advert to the necessity of keeping our force pretty much collected, for which side soever you may determine: For should the enemy find us disjointed, they may throw the whole of theirs upotj part of ours, and, by their shipping, keep us from making a junction. In determining the above, you are to take it for granted that we can, should it be deemed most expedient, support the Army upon the East, tho' it will be with infinitely more difficulty than upon the West side of the river. By the latest accounts from New York it does not seem possible that the Enemy will operate any where suddenly ; They have been much harassed and deranged by their march thro' Jersey, and are at pres- ent encamped upon Long, Staten and York Islands. We have this day a rumor, that, a French Fleet has been seen off the Coast, and that the English is preparing to sail from New York in pursuit of them. But it is but a rumor. P. S. I have just rec'd a letter from General Arnold at Philad'a. in which is the following. "An express is arrived 'to Congress from France by the way of Boston with intelligence, that on the isth of April a French Fleet sailed from Toulon consisting of 12 sail of the line, 7 frigates and "4xbecks" — which we may hourly expect to arrive in this or Chespeak Bay. — Admiral Keppel sailed the 24th April from St. Helens with 11 sail of the line." The above fully corroborates the account from New York, but I do not know that it ought to be made public yet, I mean as to numbers." 370 WASHINGTON. L. S.

Sir, With the detachment under yotir cdmrhand, which is to comprehend the Corps now advanced with Col'l.

Surveyors, while they reconnoiter and as far as time will permit, sur- vey the ground & roads in your rear, and in front of the Camp — to countenance and encourage that spirit of desertion which seems so prevalent at present — to discover, if possible, those unfriendly, and ill disposed inhabitants who make a practice of apprehending, and con- veying within the Enemy's line such deserters from their Army as happen to fall into their hands and with such witnesses as are neces- sary to elucidate the facts send them to the Head Quarters of this Army- — and lastly to try what effect the detachments approach may have upon the Enemy. I do not mean, or wish, that you should encamp very near the Enemy of nights, but wherever you do Incamp, that you do it in proper order of battle, so that your officers and men may rise at once upon the ground they are to defend. Your flanks and front sufficiently advanced upon every possible approach ; always remembering how dis- graceful a thing it is for an officer to be surprised, and believing, that if the enemy are in force at the Bridge, they will certainly attempt it. When I speak of your fianks.I have an eye particularly to the North River, as the enemy can, with facility move with both secrecy & dispatch by water, if _ they are provided with boats at, or near the Bridge, or even at the City, so as to be upon your right flank & even rear, without much difficulty, or notice. Have your evening's position well reconnoitred before hand, and unless there are good reasons to the contrary, I would advise against kindling fires at night, as the weather is warm, & your position would be discovered, & advantages taken from the knowledge of it. You may continue out with the detachment two, or three days & nights, according to the state of your provisions and other cir- cumstances, and when you return, leave an officer & sixteen Dragoons of Col'l.

"Dear Sir, By a letter received this day from Colonel Malcom I learn that the time of service for which the Militia in the Highland^ is engaged is very near expiring. I am to request you will be pleased to order out a relief of from SCO to looo as expeditiously as possible. Besides the call for them to carry on the defences o'f the River, there is at this juncture an additional necessity for their services. Matters seem to be drawing to a crisis with the enemy and there is every appearance of their speedily making some very important move- ment. From various concurring accounts they seem to be in a general fermentation. They have been some days past imbarking cannon on Book Auctioneers. 75 Continued. board their transports — taking in forage &C. and yesterday an hundred and forty sail fell down to the hook — There is no small motion of vessels in the sound, and among their troops on Long Island. It is difficult to ascertain what these appearances indicate, but it is our duty to be at all points prepared. I am sorry to inform you that the French Fleet left Rhode Island bound for Boston the instant. Our troops were still on the island and of course in a very precarious situation. The reasons foi this conduct were — the damage suffered in the late storm ; the ap- prehension of Byrons being on the coast, and the orders of the French king that in case of misfortune or a superior naval force the fleet was immediately to repair to Boston, as a secure port and a place of rendezvous for any reinforcement which should be sent. Different opinions will be entertained on the propriety of the measure ; but we ought all to concur in giving it the most favourable colouring to the people. It should be ascribed to necessity resulting from the injury sustained by the storm. If we solve the present movements of the enemy by this circum- stance, one of these two solutions will appear not improbable — either that they mean to seize the opportunity for quitting the continent or have a superior fleet on the Coast, and by transferring the principal seat of the war to the Eastward, intend to operate conjointly with their sea and land force for destruction of the French Fleet. If the latter should be their intention we must proceed Eastward and there will be the more need of Militia to reinforce the Highland garrisons. — It is also possible some enterprise against this Army may be in view, in that case succors of Militia are equally essential. If your Excellency besides ordering out the number I have mentioned; could make any disposition which might facilitate calling out the general body of the Militia on any sudden emergency it would be a desirable circumstance." 372 WASHINGTON.

I have been fav'd with yours of the 8th instant. I have furnished General Knox with the return of deficiencies of ISIifitary stores to the Northward, and he will send up a supply. In examining the Regimental Arrangements which you have transmitted to me, I observe that the dates of some onicers com- missions dififer very much from those in the arrangement made by the Committee at White plains, and some officers are introduced whose names were not in that arrangement. I have particularized them in the inclosed called "remarks upon the arrang-ement" and must desire you to inform me, before I transmit the Rolls to the Board of War to have commissions issued, the reasons of such alter- ation. The State arrangement of Col'l. Dubois's Regiment differs almost totally from that made by the Committee. But if the former has been acted under since the Regiment was first commissioned, it ought to be preserved, more especially as the State had a right, upon raising the Reg't, to arrange the officers as they pleased. Those who were discontented should not have accepted at the time, I have returned the arrangement of that Reg't to you, that you may make the necessary enquiry and report to me upon it — altho' Ltj Col'l, Regner was on the arrangement transmitted to you. called L't, Col'l, Commandant of the Reg't, late Livingstons, it was a mistake, Lieut, Book Auctioneers. 79 Continued. Col'l. Weissenfeldts, who appears to be the oldest of that Rank, will be appointed, and Lt. Col'l. Regner will take his place in Cortlands. This cannot possibly give any disgust to Col'l. Regnier whose Rank in the line of the State was fully settled at Valley Forge. It is determined that Gansevoorts — late Livingstons — Dubois's — Alden's and Butler's Regiments shall be held in every respect ready to assemble at "Canojohare" by the I2th May. I have requested Gov. Clinton to furnish immediately a sufficient number of Militia to relieve any detachments from these Corps, which may be upon the North River, and the moment they are relieved, they are to join their respective Regiments — All officers and men upon Furlough are to be called m. You some time ago mentioned, that you had sent 100 men over to Haverhill at the request of General Bailey. If they have not been already recalled, it may be done, as Hazen's Regiment has been sent up to Coos. That you may the more fully comprehend me, I shall inform you of the reason of the rendezvous at Canajoharie, but I must depend upon your .keeping it a most profound secret. It has not yet been determined whether the Regiments before mentioned (Van Schaicks at all events will garrison Fort Schuyler) are to proceed up the Mohawk and enter the Indian Country by that route — or whether they shall cross suddenly over to the waters of the Susque- hannah, and falling down that river, form a junction with our main body at Tioga-Owegy — or whatever place shall be deemed most advisable. To be prepared to carry this into execution a number of Batteaus of the lightest kind, sufficient to transport the above mentioned Regiments, are to be, without loss of time, collected at "Canajohare," and the Quarter Master General directed to take measures to have carriages ready for the conveyance of them to the head of Susquehannah should there be occasion. You are to order the Quarter Master and Commissary im- mediately to lay in as large a supply of provisions as they possibly can at Fort Schuyler. This will be necessary should it finally be determined to move the Troops up the River in preference to Susque- hannah — or it will at any rate form an ample magazine for the sup- port of the Garrison. The collection of provision at that post will also hold up the appearance of operating from that quarter altho' we may really have no such intent. The Batteaus may be immediately drawn together at "Canojo- hare" and a suitable magazine formed there. The Troops which I have mentioned may all, I should suppose, reach "Canojohare'' from their present Cantonments in a few days. They need not therefore move until you hear further from me: But as I have before directed, they are to be ready to march at a moment's warning. If you can contract for any number of Shoes to be delivered before you march, be pleased to do it, and carry them with you, as I fear we shall fall short of that Article. The Council of Massachusetts have called for autlienticated musters of their 15 Batillions that they may ascertain the deficiency of their Quota. You will therefore, be pleased to direct the Deputy Commissary of musters to transmit a certified Muster RpU of Alden's Regiment to the president of the Council at Boston. — I have requested General Schuyler to favor you with his advice and assistance in carrying the matters recommended into execution. 8o C.

But as the prepara- tions on the Susquehannah are completed and the main body all in motion towards Wyoming it is essential you should be ready to move either way at the shortest notice.

We have pledged ourselves to the Enemy to do every thing in our power for this purpose; and in consequence I directed Mr. Beatty, the com- missary of prisoners, to issue the summons, which you will probably have seen in the public papers. But as it is likely to have a very partial operation, I find it necessary, in aid of it, to request the inter- position of the different States to enforce a compliance. The most of these persons never having been, and none of them now being, in the Continental service, military authority will hardly be sufficient to oblige them to leave their places of residence, and return to captivity against their inclination; neither will it be difficult for them to elude a military search, and keep themselves in concealment. I must therefore entreat, that your Excellency will be pleased to take such measures, as shall appear to you proper and effectual, to produce their immediate return.

If I am so happy as to attain the whole number demanded a decisive stroke may be attempted against New York with a reason- able prospect of success. If the supply falls short the disappoint- ment will inevitably produce a failure in the undertaking. In this case, Congress -and my Country must excuse a want of enterprise and success of which the want of means will have been the unfortu- nate cause. If the honor and interst of the States suflfer from thence, the blame must not be imputed to me. I have taken the liberty to dwell on these points to induqe a persuasion that I have not in any degree exaggerated the number of men really necessary, lest a supposition of this kind and a regard to the ease of the people should relax the exertions of the State and occasion a deficiency which would certainly be fatal to the views of Congress and to the expected co-operation. I am now to add to this request another equally essential which is that the most effectual and expeditious means be immediately adopted to have the men drawn out properly and equipped to serve for from the time they join the Army unless the particular service for which they are drawn out should be sooner performed, the term of three months. I beg leave to recommend Fishkill . as a proper place of rendezvous. If the laws of the State now in existence or the powers rested in your Excellency are not competent to these objects, permit me to entreat that the legislature may be called together without loss of time, and that you will be pleased to employ your influence to procure laws for the purpose, framed on such principles as will secure an instant and certain execution. There are other objects which I beg leave at the same time to recommend to the most zealous and serious attention of the State. These are, making every exertion to promote the supplies of the Army in provisions, particularly in the Article of Flour, and to facili- tate the transportation in general of necessaries for the use of the Army — Our prospects with respect to Flour are to the last degree embarrassing — we are already distressed — but when we come to in- crease the demand by so large an addition of numbers, we may ex- pect to be obliged to disbaiid the troops for want of subsistence unless the utmost care and energy of the different legislatures are exerted. The difficulties we daily experience on the score of trans- portation justify equal apprehensions on that account without a similar attention to this part of the public service. These difficulties were sufficient to deter me fro^m the plan I mean to pursue, were I not convinced that the magnitude of the object will call forth all the vigcj of the States and inspire the people with a disposition to second the plans of the Governors, and give efficacy to the measures they adopt. I doubt not our resources will be found fully adequate to the undertaking if they are properly exerted — and when I consider the 4elicacy of the Crisis — and the importance of the object to be attained — I cannot doubt that this will be the case. On one side — ^the reputation of our Councils & 86 C. F. Libhie & Co. Continued. our Arms and an immediate removal of the War present themselves, on the other — disgrace and disappointment — an accumulation of ex- pense — -loss of credit with our allies and the world — loss of confidence in ourselves — ^the exhausting our ? and resources — the precipitated decay of our Currency and the continuance of the War. Nor will these evils be confined to ourselves: our allies must share in them, and suffer the mortification of having accomplished nothing to compensate for withdrawing their operations from a quarter where they had a right to expect success and for exposing their own possessions to hazard in a fruitless attempt to rescue ours. From the accounts received we are hourly to look for the appearance of the French Squadron on this Coast — the emergency is pressing — and all our measures ought to be attended with suitable expedition. Every moment is of infinite value. With the most perfect reliance on your Excellency's exertions and on those of the State, and with the greatest respect and esteem." "In Congress Sept. 26th, 1779.

Dear Sir, In my letter of the 28th ultimo, I informed you of the succours you might expect, if necessary. The six companies of Van Schaick's regiment have since sailed Hazen's will follow tomorrow. I have now to communicate my sentiments in general, respecting the disposition and application of this force. It is clearly my opinion, that the reinforcements lately ordered to the northward should be kept together as much as circumstances will admit, or at least so near as to be speedily assembled upon an emergency; as it is not certain or probable, that they will be continued permanently in that quarter, and as they are designed while there to strike the enemy, should they be so presumptous as to attempt to penetrate into the Country. It also appears to me that the force on the Hudson & Mohawk Rivers ought not to be so widely scattered as formerly, but stationed in as compact a manner as may be, except such light parties as occasion may require to be kept out. By distributing the Troops, with a. view of protecting every inch of ground, the efficient force is dissipated and lost, and the several posts are so weakened as to invite the enemy to enterprise. I wish you therefore to concentre your strength as much as possible at the points you msg judge most expedient, to form a plan of defence for the frontier, and to transmit to me the result of your determina- tion." *Note by Sparks: "In the letter of the 28th he had promised the six companies of an Schaick's regiment.

"Circular Philadelphia, 22 January, 1782. Sir, Although it may be somewhat out of my province to address your Excellency on a subject not immediately of a military nature, yet I consider it so nearly connected with, and so essential to, the operations under my direction, that I flatter myself my interfer- ence will not be deemed impertinent. Upon applying to the Superin- tendent of finance to know how far I might depend upon him for the pay, feeding, and clothing of the army for the current year, and for the sums necessary to put it and keep it in motion, he very candidly laid open to me the state of our moneyed affairs, and convinced me,^ that although the assistance we had derived from abroad was consid- erable, yet it would be by^ no means adequate to our expenses. He informed me further, that, to make up the deficiency, the States had been called upon by Congress for eight millions of dollars for the service of the year 1782, and showed me the copy of a circular letter from himself to the several legislatures, in which he had so fully and clearly pointed out the necessity of a compliance with the requisition, that it is needless for me to say more on that head, than that I entirely concur with him in opinion, so far as he has gone into the matter. But there are other reasons, which could not be so well known to him as they are to me, as having come under my immediate observation, and which, therefore, I shall take the liberty to mention. Your Excellency cannot but remember the fer- ment, into which the whole army was thrown twelve months ago for ■the want of pay and a regular supply of clothing and provisions; and with how much difficulty they were brought into temper, by a partial supply of the two first, and a promise of more regular sup- pHes of all in future. Those promises the soldiery now begin to claim; and, although we shall be able to satisfy them tolerably in respect to clothing, and perfectly in regard to provisions, if the financier is enabled to comply with his contracts, yet there is no prospect of obtaining pay, until a part of the money required of the States can be brought into the public treasury. You cannot conceive the uneasiness, which arises from the total want of so essential an article as money, and the real difficulties in which the officers in particular are involved on that account. The favorable aspect of our affairs, and the hopes that matters are in train to afford them relief, contribute to keep them quiet; but I cannot answer for the effects of a disappointment. Enabling the financier to- comply with his contracts is a matter of the utmost consequence; the very existence of the army depends upon it. Should he fail in his pay- ments, the contract ceases, and there is no alternative left, but to disband or live upon the seizure of the neighbouring property. The saving to the public, by feeding an army by contract, is too well known to need any illustration, and that alone ought to be a suffiQient inducement to the States to find the means of adhering to it. It will perhaps be urged, that the sum called for is immense, and beyond the ability of country to pay. There is one plain answer to that Book Auctioneers, 93 Continued. objection, should it be made. It is, that, if the war is carried on, a certain expense must be incurred, and tliat such , expense must be drawn from the people, either by a partial, cruel, and I may say illegal- seizure of the property, which lies most convenient to the army, or by a regular and equitable tax in money or specific articles. Money, if it can be procured, is to be preferred, because it is neither liable to waste, nor is it expensive in the mode of collection or trans- portation. Whreas I think I may venture to say, that a great propor- tion of the specific articles has been wasted after the people have furnished them, and that the transportation alone of what have reached the army has in numberless instances cost more than the value of the articles themselves. To bring this war to a speedy and happy conclusion must be the fervent wish of every lover of his country; and sure I am that no means are so likely to effect these as vigorous preparations for another campaign. Whether, then, we consult our true interest, sub- stantial economy, or sound policy, we shall find, that relaxation and languor are of all things to be avoided. Conduct of that kind on our part will produce fresh hopes and new exertions on that of the enemy; whereby the war, which kas already held out beyond the general expectation, may be protracted to such a length, that the people, groaning under the burthen of it, ahd despairing of success, may think any change a change for the better. I will close with a request that your Excellency will be good enough to take the first opportunity of laying these sentiments before the legislature of your State. From the attention, which they have ever been pleased to pay to any former requisitions or representations of mine, I am en- couraged to hope, that the present, which is equally important with any I have ever made, will meet with a favorable reception. P. S. The return of troops called for by Resolve of the loth of December, is collecting and will be forwarded very soon. The remote situation of some of the Corps has made it a tedious business, but_ such is the nature of it- that an accurate return cannot be digested untill the return of all the Legionary Corps and those of artillery are obtained that credit may be given for the men serving in them."

Sir, The great object for which I had the honor to hold an appointment in the service of my Country being accomplished, I am now preparing to resign it into the hands of Congress, and to return to that domestic retirement, which it is well known I left with the greatest reluctance, a retirement for which I have never ceased to sigh through a long and painful absence, and in which (remote from the noise and trouble of the world) I meditate to pass the remainder of life, in a state of undisturbed repose: But before I carry this resolution into effect, I think it a duty incumbent on me, to make this my last official communication, to congratulate you on the glorious events which Heaven has been pleased to produce in our favor, to ofifer my sentiments respecting some important subjects which appear to me to be intimately connected with the tranquility of the United States, to take my leave of your Excellency as a public Character, and to give my final blessing to that Country, in whose service I have spent the prime of my life, for whose sake I have consumed so many anxious days and watchful nights, and v/hose happiness, being extremely dear to me, will always constitute no inconsiderable part of my own. * * * * There are four things, which I humbly conceive are essential to the well being, I may even venture to say to the existence, of the United States as an independent power * * ist. An indissol- uble Union of the States under one federal Head. 2ndly. A sacred regard to public Justice. 3dly. The adoption of a proper Peace Establishment, and 4thly. The prevalence of that pacific and friendly disposition among the people of the United States, which will induce them to forget their local prejudices and policies, to make those mutual concessions which are requisite to the general pros- perity, and in some instances, to sacrifice their individual advantages to the interest of the commvmity. These are the pillars on which the glorious tabrick of our Indeperidancy and National Character must be supported — Liberty is the basis — and whoever would dare to sap the foundation or overturn the Structure under whatever specious pretexts he may attempt it, will merit the bitterest execrations and the severest punishment which can be inflicted by his injured Country. For my own part, conscious of having acted, while a servant of the public, in the manner I conceived best suited to promote the Book Auctioneers. 95 CoNTlNtTED. real interests of my country, having in consequence of my fixed belief, in some measure, pledged myself to the Army that their Country would finally do them compleat and ample Justice and not wishing to conceal any instance of my official conduct from the eyes of the world, I have thought proper to transmit to your Excellency the inclosed collection of papers relative to the half pay & commutation granted by Congress to the Offi-cers of the Army. From these communications my decided sentiment will be clearly comprehended, together with the conclusive reasons which induced me, at an early period, to recommend the adoption of this measure in the most earnest and serious manner. As the proceedings of Congress, the Army and myself are open to all and contain in .my opinion sufficient information to remove the prejudices and errors which may have been entertained by any, I think it unnecessarj' to say anything more, than just to observe, that the resolutions of Con- gress now alluded to, are undoubtedly as absolutely binding upon the United States, as the most solemn Acts of Confederation or Legisla- tion. As to the idea, which I am informed' has in some instances prevailed, that the half pay and commutation are to be regarded merely in the odious light of a pension, it ought to be exploded for- ever — that provision should be viewed as it really was, a reasonable compensation offered by Congress at a time when they had nothing else to give to the Officers of the Army for services then to be per- formed. It was the only means to prevent a total dereliction of the Service — it was a part of their hire, I may be allowed to say, it was the price of their blood and of your Independency — it is therefore more than a common debt, it is a debt of honor — it can never be . considered as a pension or gratuity nor be cancelled until it is fairly discharged. . . I have thus freely disclosed what I wished to make known, before I surrendered up my public trust to those who committed it to me — the task is now accomplished I now bid adieu to your Excellency, as the Chief Magistrate of your State, at the same time I bid a last farewell to the cares of Office and all the em- ployments of public life. It remains then to be my final and only request, that your Excellency will communicate these sentmients to your legislature at their next meeting and that they may be consid- ered as the legacy of one who has ardently wished on all occasions to be useful to his Country and who even in the shade of retirement will not fail to implore the divine benediction upon it."

Walch: Venetiis, 1479 A very fine specimen of early typography and the first pro- duction from one of the earlier Venice Presses, examples of which are very rarely met with, only three works being issued by this printer. This famous and valuable Chronicle of the World from the Creation to A. D. 1474 was extremely popular and contains numerous wood-cuts of towns, etc. That on the reverse of folio J7 is« the first engraved view of Venice and is an actual design, not a conventional sketch. There is also a curious wood-cut, showing the measurements of Noah's Ark and a fine outline wood-cut of the Deity on folio 26. Fine copy with large margins and the blank leaf at the beginning.

This seems to be the Heber copy rebound and is the only one we can trace except one in the British Museum. Among the "Strange and Memorable things" described is the invention of printing from movable types. A portion of this chapter we quote: "Printing First Found Out Amongest the Maguntines — First this noble Arte to Print with letters of Tinne, was invented and found oute almost in our age; a devine and heavenly invention truly, and a thing memorable and worthye to be remembered, and no less worthye of greate admiration, but truly it would have bin a great deale more marvellous, if it had not chaunced to be so common. It is straung and scarcely credible to be spoken, but yet more truer the truth it selfe, that one Printer may Print so many letters in one daye, that 1 66 C. F. Libbie & Co. Continued. the swiftest Scrivener or writer is not able to do so much in two yeres. This is an Almaine invention, which was at the beginning in greate admiration, and of no less lucre and profit. The inventor and first deviser of this, was one John Gutenbergius, a man of worship equal to a knight and at Magunce. The thinge was first taken in hande wyth more boldness and confidence then hope, about xvi yeares before it began to be common in Italye. The first be- ginning was at Magunce, the Germaynes beinge the duthor?, witli small and little principles and foundations, but shortly by the in- dustry of mans witte, it grewe to that perfection, that now in our time it hath." 1012 EDMONDS, Charles.

Small folio, full crushed olive levant morocco extra, gilt edges, by R. Petit. Mediolani, 1508 Excessively rare. The Beckford copy {etched £78. Priced by Quaritch at £48. Fine clean perfect copy. This work is a translation into Latin by Archangelus Madrig- nanus, a Cistercian monk, of the famous first edition (Vicenza, 1507) of the "Paesi novamente retrovati, et Novo Mondo da Alberico.

Small 8 vo. superbly bound by Clovis Eve. in red morocco, super elegantly tooled, g^lt edges. Paris, Egidius et Germain Hardoyn, 15 14 Unique and Magnificent Missal Illuminated by Hand as well as bound by the greatest of all the great French binders. The sides and back are one superbly blended unity of Gothic and Floriated design. Interlaced geometrical figures of the Maori genre, are in- harmonious juxtaposition with delightful floriation of both conven- tional and natural character. This grand example of binding was executed by Clovis Eve. Writing of DeThou and Clovis Eve, Cundall in his "Ancient and Modern Bookbinding," says: "In 1593, in the reign of Henry IV., DeThou was' appointed keeper of the Royal Library in place of D'Amyot. He then employed Clovis Eve, whose shop was at Mont St. Hilaire, close to the Royal Library, to bind the King's books, and in all probability availed himself of his services for his own library. This Clovis Eve was both a bookbinder and a bookseller, which, as we have already seen, was a necessary combination. "Some even," as we read in the "Guide des Corps Marchands," in the chapter upon bookbinders and gilders, "Some even possessed a printing office." These were the privileged few, who in Paris pos- sessed the same right of uniting all the industries of a book as Aldus did in Venice. Those who confined themselves solely to the industry of bookbinding were usually in the employ of some rich amateur, and formed part of his household, like those employed by Crolier. We know that Matherbe, by the recommendation of his book binder, Provence, sent a youth to Pieresc, who wa^ a great lover of well bound books. Clovis Eve is little known as a bookseller, probably because the exigencies of his duty as the King's bookbinder occupied him completely. In 1605 he was still in office, but five years later his son Nicholas had succeeded him. He, in his turn, was sue- 224 C. F. Libbie & Co. Continued. ceeded by his son Oovis, who was King's bookbinder up to 1631. We also hear of Louis LeDuc, a binder to Henry IV. in 1598. The volume — which is in morocco — was bound by Clovis Eve years after it left the press of the Hardouins, of whom Dibdin says: — "They wer both unquestionably very beautiful printers and main- tained a prodigious traffic in the sale of devotional volumes; their productions being upon the whole fully equaj to those of Kewer, Pigouchet, or Vostre." The borders, composed of fruits and flowers, painted by hand, in this Latin "Heures" are delightfully executed, and the numerous capitals and finals are carefully worked out in gold and colors. The first miniature is entirely executed by hand and represents a ton- sured monk in black and white habit worshipping the Madonna and Child. The other miniatures are of the "Chalice Miracle of St. John," "Betrayal of Christ," "Four Cardinal Virtues" (4), "An- nunciation," "Vision of the Assumption," "Nativity,'' "Angels Appearing to Shepherds," "Adoration of Magi," "Purification," "Flight into Egypt," "Death and Assumption of Virgin,"- "David and Bathsheba's Husband," "Christian Love Feast," "Crucifixon," "Descent of Holy Ghost," and "Annunciation." The small minia- tures are principally of Saints and tastefully executed. 1494* MANUSCRIPT List of the Freemen admitted to the Massachusetts Colony from 1663 to 1685.

In the letter, which fills 19 pages, he gives a little history of New England affairs, especially Massachusetts Bay Colony from his landing, early in the summer of 1630, to where he writes: "I am now this twenty eighth of March, 1631. Sealing my letters." The; following quotations will show the character of his narrative: "Upon the twenty fifth of this March, one of Watertown having lost a Calf, and about ten of the Clock at night, hearing the howling of some Wolves not far off, raised many of his Neighbors out of their Beds, that by Discharging, their Muskets near about the place where he heard the Wolves, he might so put the Wolves to flight, and save his calf: The Wind serving fit to carry the Report of the Muskets to Roxbury, three miles off at such a time ; the Inhabitants there took alarm, Beat up their Drum, Armed them- selves, and sent in Post to us to Boston, to Raise us also: So in the morning the Calf being found safe, the Wolves affrighted, and our danger past, we went merrily to Breakfast."

It contains a most astonishing narrative of occur- rences in what the author calls "The Metropolis of the English America." This London edition includes a long Prefare by Richard Baxter, who seems to have been a collector of scarce books on Witchcraft. At least he says : "I could never yet get the Treatise of Witches, written by that great Philosopher Scheggins." The follow- ing is from his Preface: "If any are Scandalized, that New-England a place of as seri- ous Piety as any I can hear of under Heaven, should be troubled so much with Witches, and with Melancholies, (?anti-imperialists) and self-murders, as Mr. Matlier tells us, I think it is no wonder: where will the Devil shew most malice, but where he is hated and hates most: Where will he cast his Net, but where it is th^ best Prey. . . .

Probably some copies were issued with only 96 pages of tlie engraved musics as this copy in the original binding shows it was bound without the additional pages. In printing copper plates they often become broken and as the pages in this work show many bad breaks, probably the last pages had become so broken so they could not be printed.

London, 1775 * This is the original London issue of this very rare and "spirited" journal. For an interesting account of the paper see the late Paul Leicester Ford's article in Vol. L of the "Bibliographer," pages 139-152. The editor seems to have been William Moore, formerly the editor of the "North Briton." "What makes this periodical remarkable, and of particular in- terest to American collectors, is its bold advocacy of the cause of the colonies, even after they had declared their independence, and its unmeasured abuse of those who favored the subjection of America. Bute and Mansfield, North and Dartmouth. Wesley and Johnson, Gage a'nd Howe and Burgoyne, and many other politicians, pen- sioned writers, and military officers are lashed with a savageness al- most inconceivable; and the King, far from being excepted, is the most often and the most virulently attacked." • Book Auctioneers.' 281 1950 REVOLUTION.

The Works of; the text formed from a new collation of the early editions, to which are added all the original novels and tales on which the plays are founded: copious archaeological annotations on each play, an essay on the formation of the text, and a life of the poet; by James O. Halliwell, Esq. The illustrations and wood engravings by Frederick William Fairholt, Elsq., 16 vols, folio, half roan, uncut edges. London, 1853-63 "The impression of this edition of Shakespeare will be most strictly limited to one hundred and fifty copies, and each copy will have the printer's autograph certificate that that limit has been pre- served. "All the plates and woodcuts used for this work will be de- stroyed, and no separate impression of any of them will be taken off." In the original Prospectus the Editor says, "Each play will be accompanied by every kind of useful literary and antiquarian illus- tration, copious philological notes, complete copies of all novels, tales or dramas on which it is founded, entire impressions of the first sketches and all documents of a really illustrative character. Some • of these will be novelties to the student; others will be collected from a variety of sources not readily accessible, being dispersed through a number of volumes, some of great rarity, while the reprints of ancient tracts already well known to Shakespearian readers, the insertion of which is of course a matter of absolute necessity in a monograph design, will be carefully re-collated with the originals In fact no pains will be spared to render this edition the most com- plete in every respect that has yet been produced; superseding entirely the variorum edition of 1821, with the addition of all Shakespear- ian discoveries of any importance which have been made since that period. This work will be copiously illustrated by facsimiles and woodcuts, the direction of which has been undertaken by Mr. Fair- holt, who has also most kindly promised to assist me in the selec- tion. "The engravings throughout will be rigidly restricted to sub- jects which really elucidate the text, giving representations of articles mentioned by Shakespeare, or to which he may refer, how- ever slightly, thus serving as pictorial notes to his works." 2034 SHAKESPEARE as put forth in 1623.
