Book Description
An angry letter written by Major Bauman, commander of artillery at West Point, to Major Shaw, aide-de-camp to Brigadier General Henry Knox. Says You will please to inform the general that it is moral[ly] impossible for me to join the party at New Windsor to morrow, agreeable to the promptery orders I Received, Except it is meant to destroy me, and what little I have left in this ungrateful Service. In an earlier letter, Knox gave permission to Bauman to take a few days to deal with family matters, and this letter seems to be a backlash against the revoking of that permission. Bauman says he needs time to bring my property into a manner of security. Says he only planned to be away 8 days and that he has not been absent from West Point since his family moved from there. Says he cannot comply with orders because of a situation that requires my care, and stay, untill Thursday next, without matters are so pressing, that I must sacrifice all. Written in response to GLC02437.01146.

Pages : 0
Book Description
Major Bauman of the artillery corps asks General Washington to discharge four older German men under Bauman's command. Says that the Board of Inspectors of Invalids told him to go to Washington as the men did not come under the description of men in bad health. Says the Germans are all in their 60s and worn out and want to go back to Germany; they and their families seek discharge. The Germans said from their short service they have rendered this Country, they could never Expect or demand any bounty from it, and their sphere of live being passed to labour, consequently would become a burdon to individuals, or pine out the remaining part of their lives in an inglorious or despicable manner. Says that Washington is already familiar with how these men came to America and will not elaborate on it.
