| Abstract | Letter from Charles Pettit to Nathanael Greene. Philadelphia - Difficulty of getting his debts paid by the Treasury Board. Enclosing resolution of Congress of the 20th; also a letter received that day from Board of War. Can do nothing without money, which he cannot get. Congress doing nothing to the point. Surprised at Colonel Mitchell's delaying so long at camp when his presence is needed in Philadelphia. Insufficient number of teams employed in carrying provisions for him to Trenton; afraid to give other than general directions, as Colonel Mitchell is expected every day. | ||
