New-Jersey, July 12, 1783.
S I R,
777 E, the officers of the Jersey Line, feeling for
Vv your perlon that refpea, friendship and affec
tion, which your paternal care and attention towards
us, in a long continued series of hard and trying ser
vice could not but inspire, he, leave to pay you this
small tribute of gratitude, which we hope will be made
more acceptable by an afforance that it flows freely
from hearts warmed by the purest attachment.
We feel ourfelyes, both as citizens and folders, par
ticularly indebted to you for the generous determina
tion to vjfit this country in the hour of her distress,
and (by a noble offer of your services) to espouse her
part in an endeavour to free herfelf from foreign
oppreffon. We are made fill more happy by the
recollection, that the moll extenfi^e confidence was
placed by our countrymen in a man who has proved
himfelf so deserving ofit, and to whose knowledge, as
siduity and zeal, we in a great measure owe that mili
tary reputation which we have happily acquired.
The tfleem you have ever borne for our army—the
unremitted labour which you have exercised f r the
efktblifhment of our honor and good character) as well
as your affectionate anxiety and participation in our
Buffering,, have endeared yon to us in a superlative
degree; ^nd we wish you to be assured, fir, that un
til we cease to exiff, we cannot cease to render you
the mofl grateful acknowledgements, or to give you
our sincerest iove and veneration.
To our sovereign representatives we leave i', to make
you acknowledgements mere adequate than our's can
be, to your important services in our late great con
test—but we conceive it to be our duty (and we feel
^nufual pleasure in doing it) to give you these indivi
dual assurances of gratitude and love. We beg you
allo to be fully convinced, that the sentiments of af
fe&ion we have here exprefled, and the high sense we
entertain of your public services and private virtues,
lire equally imprinted on each of our minds; and we
hncerely lament that such complicated distress should
have exifled at the period of our separation from the
army, as to have been able to prevent the more timely
assurances of them.
With the most earned wishes for your future health,
typings and fucoefs, we have the honor to fubferibe
ourselves.
Your mod obedient,
and very humble servants.
Signed by the Officers of the Jersey Line.
Maj. Cen, Laron Steuben.
Weft-Point, July 19, 1783.
Gentlemen,
^ HAVE received the address with which you have
{ been pleated to honor me, and am fenfib'y affeHed
by your generous sentiments towards me : I hope you
will do me the juflice to believe, that I reciprocate
your affectionate expressions in the fulleft manner pos
sible.
A desire of fame was my ruling motive for visiting
America; but when I saw so many brave, so many
good men encountering every species of distress for the
cause of their country, the course of my ambition was
changed, and toy only wish was to be linked in the chain
of friendihip with those supporters of their country,
and to render that country which had given birth to so
many patriots, every service in my power. If my la
bours have tended to advance the interest of the Unit
ed States, to you gentlemen, and to the officers of the
American army, are they indebted; your approbation
gave a value to my inftrudions, and your attention
to discipline, has justly given you that character, as
military men, which you enjoy.
The representatives of the United States know, and
when it shall be in their power, I have not the bast
doubt but that they will reward the merit of the ar
my, and make their return to private life as happy
as it is honorable. But while this idea gives me plea
sure, I am sensibly pained at the recollection, that the
amiable, the worthy colonel Barber, has by an untime
ly death, been prevented enjoying with you the re
ward of his virtues —your gooduefs will pardon, will
applaud this tribute paid to the memory of a man,
who was an ornament to your line, to the army, and
to America.
Our peculiar situation at the moment of parting pre
vented my taking leave of you, but I hope the officers
of the New-Jersey line, will receive my sincere withes
for their happiness, and thanks for the friendfhip with
which they honor me; a friendfhip founded in virtue
and which it shall be my constant endeavour to pre
serve inviolate. With sentiments dilated by refpett,
and the warmef lattachment,
I have the honor to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient humble servant.
