| Abstract | Letters from Alexander McDougall to Nathanael Greene. Headquarters, Peekskill - Acknowledging favor of 11th ult. Grand Army left everything in chaos. General Greene's department in the best state. Detention of intrenching tools. Dissipation and luxury in Philadelphia; its consequences. Congress of New York aim to do everything with small results. Works at West Point retarded for want of carpenters. Hard worked; leads Spartan life. Affairs in Georgia cannot prosper until people recover from their panic. Wants to know what Congress is doing with General Arnold. Alliance with France. Expectations not sanguine from that quarter; America must, under God, rely on herself; she must pay her own debts and restore her currency. | ||
