| Abstract | Letter from John Gooch to Nathanael Greene. Boston - Narrating his difficulties in getting hay or grain. Complains bitterly of his present pay, as compared with that of a commissary of hides or deputy commissary of prisoners. Sets forth his expenses and the inadequacy of his pay. Declares, when the war is over, he must take the highway with a pistol for a maintenance. Language inadequate to express the political situation. Scandalous treatment of his friend, Major Mersereau. "His little ribb" sends her most respectful compliments. | ||
