| Abstract | Letter from Charles Pettit to Nathanael Greene. West Point - Acknowledging letters of 16th and 17th insts. Late resolutions of Congress, putting the staff wholly in the power of the executive officers of each state, will give finishing stroke to their department. Discusses the alarming results if he (General Greene) is to be excluded from the honors of the line; will quit the department at once; his rank preserved by Act of Congress and his claim a just one. Gov. Read and other members likely to feel the effects of that jealousy among the people, which they have been so industrious in promoting. | ||
