| CONTENT DESCRIPTION | |||
| Abstract | Letter from Udny Hay to Nathanael Greene. Praise for his assistants. General Greene's recommendation to Congress to advance assistant quartermaster's pay to 0 per month at first sight appears generous; on second thought, considers it inadequate to their services, considering their expenses. Must raise artificers' wages or lose them. Officers of artificers beg dismission from the service, producing certificates to show that their families are starving for bread, - no wonder! with wheat at per bushel! | ||
