This book was released on 1782 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discusses problems related to the transportation of military stores from Yorktown to Westham or Richmond, Virginia. Comments that he and his associates are bound in their ability to carry out orders because the state government of Virginia refuses to help. Mentions the resignation of Thomas Nelson as governor and the election of Benjamin Harrison. Has managed to set up the stores near Westham, close to the river so as to be able to ship them by boat in case of danger, but fears that in an invasion or attack they still may not be able to protect them. Mentions the arrival of an independent Commissary of Military Stores, Captain [Nathaniel] Irish, instructed to report only to General Nathanael Greene. Refers to a letter he enclosed from Davis (Colonel William Davies, Commissioner of War in Virginia; see GLC02437.01324 and GLC02437.01325) about the impossibility of moving the stores by vessel. Makes a case for New London as a final destination for the stores, arguing that it is geographically well-situated and there are many artificers there who are sympathetic to their cause. Mentions Benedict Arnold, Thomas Jones, as well as Mr. Morris (likely Robert Morris, financier) who he will visit in Philadelphia to discuss procuring supplies.

Book excerpt: Informs Carrington that he has received his letters concerning appointments for young officers and that though they generally arrived too late, he will keep them in mind for future consideration. States that there were many more applications than positions. Speaking about the last session of Congress, he writes, The indian war, and the failure of the last expedition combined with a partial aversion to the government excited much ill humor during the last session. It was thought proper by a party, to levell some shafts at me....Parties will arise in free governments - and party prejudice is proverbally blind. Asks about the general Machine in Virginia and comments on prosperity in Pennsylvania. Discusses the New York governor's election, [John] Jay it would seem had a majority of votes - but [George] Clinton is the governor ...the essence of republicanism is done away and if a man can perpetuate himself to office by a minority. Also comments he has heard that some one in Virginia wants Clinton to run for Vice President against John Adams and wants to know if this is true.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks him for his recent letter. Writes, Your suggestion as to the advantages to be derived from a personal attendance at the metropolis, is constantly found in the experience of Mankind & I am satisfied that such a step would give me a better appearance of success than I can otherwise have, but [were] this situation were it to continue for any length of time, would be painful to me, and no judgment can be [favored] when the arrangements of the Government will bring forward its permanent appointments. Is presently engaged in public business, but will travel to New York in early summer if he finishes the business by then. Writes, I shall adopt your advice in making a communication of my wishes to the President as soon as I am informed that he has accepted his appointment. This is a step that I should feel much difficulty in taking, but for the consideration that it will be perhaps, the only proper mode of tendency over services to the public. Adds a postscript regarding a new appointment that was made prior to his announcing his attention to seek a position.

The Common tendency of Revolutions founded in a [sense] amongst the people of oppression from the Nobility has ever been to an implicit surrender of every thing unto the hands of the Sovereign to say nothing of ancient Precedents, the modern, nay recent, Revolution in Denmark & Sweden terminated thus: there is in France a spirit never before known in the old world; my pride suggests that it was imbibed from America, and I am compleatly [sic] gratified in being that a Son of America did in the extremity of confusion, 'Mount the Whirlwind & direct the Storm.'
