| Abstract | Letter from Charles Pettit to Nathanael Greene. Philadelphia - Account of a conversation held with the Treasury Board, in which he set forth in quite a long speech the need for money and the tardiness with which it was supplied, especially to his department.

Resolve of Congress to draw bills on Europe at six months' sight for £200,000 sterling; also to move from Philadelphia the next spring, but not yet determined whither. Suffering from inflammation of one eye, which may prevent his writing. | ||
