Letter reads in full, Presuming on your generous friendship which is influenced by the dictates of humanity & friendship, I have address'd these Lines to you, not doubting your Candour will excuse the freedom I have taken - Being disappointed in receiving some assistance from a near Connection, to whom, I thought I could apply with some degree of confidence, has compell'd me, tho' with great reluctance to make this application to your Goodness for some kind for myself & family against the approaching winter, which will greatly relieve me from much anxiety, & add to your many favours. Postscript asks him to respond at the first opportunity.

Book Description
Marked copy. Written from the War Office, likely in New York City during this period. Writes that his past agitations on behalf of payment for troops should convince them of his interest in providing for the public good. Believes that the defective compliance of most of the States with the requisitions of Congress has been the Sole cause which has prevented better payments. Therefore, has conferred with Mr. Robert Morris and Mr. Jeremiah Wadsworth in hopes that the public might derive substantial assistance from the great credit and monied influence of those gentlemen. Hopes that they might be influenced by the importance of the object, and its immediate connection with the welfare of the United States to enter into contracts for feeding, clothing, paying and transporting the troops for one year and to advance to the Treasurer of the United States the further sum of One thousand Dollars, on terms which are outlined in the enclosed documents [not present]. See GLC02437.03340 for related information.
