Identifier(s): apsrevcity:21769
Description: Letter from Morgan Lewis to Nathanael Greene. Albany - Acknowledging letter of 19th ult. Promises to adopt the mode he prescribes for acquiring an exact account of moneys due from the department. Has mentioned it already to some of his creditors in the city; they declined to accept of any certificate in lieu of money, even threatening a prosecution. People distressed for money to pay their taxes; and those living at a distance will certainly not bring in their accounts to receive only a promise of payment. Those driven from their habitations in 1777, demand payment for boards, etc., taken from them on the retreat. His assistants dissatisfied, and properly so, with their payment; they will leave unless something is done. Desires to know the truth of a report that a Resolution of Congress allows the staff clothing. Complains bitterly against the rate at which he has been taxed, as he has no visible property on earth and has been taxed merely for doing General Greene's business.; American Philosophical Society
