| Abstract | Letter from George Weedon to Nathanael Greene. Fredericksburg - Acknowledging letter of 14th ult., and congratulating him on the birth of a daughter. Would have given his only hat if it had been a son! Has leased a farm not to far from town, where his friends will always receive a hearty welcome, and if Mrs. Greene will come, promises her a ball every week. Great hopes at the beginning of the Rhode Island expedition, disappointed. Desires his opinion on the state of the arm, on the results of the Court-martial and the Eastern pole tax. Thinks the British are pretty tired and would gladly quit. Assembly still sitting; will communicate the heads of their deliberations in his next. | ||
