CONTENT DESCRIPTION
AbstractLetter from Charles Pettit to Nathanael Greene. Philadelphia - Mr. Mitchell's difficulty with the Council about certain negotiations with General Arnold. Mr. Mitchell's efforts to extricate himself only seem to plunge him into deeper distress; has begged him [Pettit] to soften his case before the Council . Wrote a private letter to the President on the subject, setting forth his belief that Mr. Mitchell may have been indiscreet but never fraudulent; the President's answer expressed a different opinion of his conduct. No hope, therefore, in that direction. February 27 - Mr. Mitchell has just left after expressing concern that the Council should suspect him of want of candor and offering to make an explicit declaration of the facts. Has just written a letter to the President in which he conveyed this declaration to the council.
