Description: Letter from Nathanael Greene to John Jay. Smith's Clove - Concerning a law passed by the Legislature of the State of New Jersey for the express purpose of taxing the assistant and deputy quartermasters-general; likely to produce disagreeable consequences; this arbitrary imposition cannot fail to drive out of the department every capable and trustworthy man. Mr. Furman has already resigned and Colonel Cox and Mr. Pettit only wait to know the issue of a memorial presented to Congress. Should they resign, will not be responsible for the terrible consequences, neither will he take any fee or reward for his services in that event. Has heard some doubts about the holding of his command.
