| Abstract | Letter from Charles Pettit to Nathanael Greene. Philadelphia - In compliance with his request, has obtained a special order on the Loan Office for 0,000, which granted nothing, because it deprived him of getting the like sum for other purposes. Trouble with the Treasury Board over orders they gave him, and which now they decline to be responsible for. High complaints against Colonel Cook; has written him a letter on the subject. Things going from bad to worse - miserable condition of horses, lack of money and pressure of creditors, and no disposition on the part of his superiors to lessen the difficulties. Remarkable manner in which the public debts are annihilated. | ||
