Identifier(s): apsrevcity:16662
Description: Letter from Richard Henry Lee to Thomas Jefferson about negotiations with the British commissioners. He writes that the British have left Philadelphia and that the Continental Army is in possession of the city. He describes the movements of the British and American troops. Lee writes a very vivid description of, presumably, Thomas Johnson. "Governor Johnson tries every art to gain admission among us. He abuses his Masters, flatters America, and is willing to yield us every thing if we will be perfidious to our Ally and again submit to the domination of his King and Parliament. This Man possesses in abundance Scottish cunning and Scottish impudence." Lee concludes the letter by stating that congress hopes to ratify the Articles of Confederation as only two or three small states have not agreed to it.; Recipient's copy at the Library of Congress, this is a transcription.; American Philosophical Society
