| Abstract | Letter from Timothy Whiting to Udny Hay. West Point - His situation different from his brethren in office, on account of his being annexed to the line of the army; therefore ought to be treated on the same footing with a captain in the line, as was done in May, 1777. Has no aversion to the service, it's hard work and inadequate pay, but thinks the sacrifice too great unless he has a prospect of being on a level with the officers of the line. Begs him to state the matter to the Quartermaster-General and request him to lay it before Congress, in which case he is willing to continue his services until January 1. | ||
