WOODDROP and JOSEPH SIMS,
Published every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. ]
I have great reason to believe that Dr. Shippen spoke
without authority on this as on other occasions, just as it
best served his private purposes, without any regard to
truth, for a, few days before I had received the letter from
the Hon. Mr. Gerry, Member of Congress, before cited,
in which is contained the following account of the intenti
on of Congress, in regard to the hospital Bores, viz.
'' Philadelphia, Nov. 20, 1776.
“ I received year favour of the 7th inst. With refpes
“ t® the meaning of the resolve (viz. of October 9th) or
“ deriog the Directors to take care of the sick of the army,
“ as they may be on the east or weft fide of the river, it
" appears to me to be this, that whatever sick ofthearmv
" shall happen to be on the east fide, they shall be under
" care of yourfelf, and the others under direction of Dr.
", Sb^ppen. You, 'Medicines and Surgeons are undoubtedly
" under your oivn command. E. GERRY.
" To Dr. Morgan."
That the sick fuffered in the Jerseys from tbefe Snifter
practices of Dr. Shippen, I shall only add the authority of
toe following paragraph from General Washington's letter
before cited.
" The refuses of Cotigrefs (viz. of October 9, 1776)
" appointing Dr. Shippen and yourfelf Directors in fepa
" rate departments occasioned a disagreement between you,
" I think, particularly, as to the difoofal ofhofpital Stores.
" I remember that I was obliged, for the good of the fer
" vice, to interpose in Some manner, but without reference
" to my papers, I will not undertake to fay what orders I
<' was under the nereffity of giving.
" (have underfoot that the clashing between Dr. Spip
" pen andyourfelj was no small caufe oj the calamities that
" befcl tbe sick in 1776.
GEORGE WASHINGTON."
But the following letter of Dr. Shippen will demonstrate
by the pains he took to injure my character, and to
divert me of my authority, that his appointment clash
ed very much with my exertions to care of the sick. Be
ing an official letter, Dr. Rush, to whom it was written,
on my application for it, thought it his duty to let me
have it.
(Continued from la, Tuesday's paper.)
' T " what countenance .then could Dr. Shippen
fv : pretend, that any of thefick who fuffered on tbis
ude the North-River, properly belonged co my depart
ment, when he knew that teofe under my charge were well
taken care of, and that those who fuffered belonged to the
Flying Camp, under his sole direction ? that he had fixed
a out^n of his own there, to look after th^m, and was
uinheifat Newark to attend to their complaints, if his ig
norance of military Hospitals, his neg left to make provi
hon for them, or ' is mfufficithcy and love of pfafare,
not ofbu^ne, had hot prevented ' him? Had they fallen
in the w % of my Surgeons, or in my way, they would
have been taken care of with my own fief, without diflinc
tion., I should have acquainted Dr Shippen with their
himfelf, and not abused the ears of Congress with
hfbons; '0 excite its refentmeut against him.
hr. Srippen with a view to fore the Hospital flares at
Newark out of my hand, finding by my reply to hisqne
ry, " Why I w is not at my post on the east fide of Hud
" fords river, agreeable to the new arrangement of Con
'' Trees, October 9," that I put a different con ftruffion
from him on the fiippo& ^fign of Congress in that re
solve, wrot to General Wefnirgfon, " that his fixation
“ uneeiy, that he had applied to or. Foster for the
'' stores, wno would not giv^ them up to hira without ah
" order from Dr. Morgan, or the command of the Gene
rai.~ It came to his foands about.the sth ofNovember
t 76, at the White Plans, where I was then with him.
By locking at toe copy of a letter which I wrote to Dr.
Foster, of Nov. 6, I bud, and indeed well remember it,
that the General's answer was, as is there set forth, viz.
" General Wethington has wrote to Dr Snippen, that tee
“ present sick and hospital flores which I 'eft at Newark
'' and Hackinfack are to remain fubjeft to my direction
" only. John Morgan.”
A true copy, Isaac Foster
Dr. Shippen being disappointed in this second attempt
to deprive me of my hofeitals and Bores, without ever hav
ing once made application to myfelf, for affifrume, which
had be done I fhouU have cheerfully afforded, made frefii
mifeprefentations to Cong/Ms, in a private underhand
manner, and again , renewed his applications to the Gene
ral. Being accompanied by tbe Honorable Mr. John
Adaffis, Member of Congress, in perform, who directed Dr.
Foster in the name of Congress to deliver up to Dr S ip
pen the hospital flotes, he thus carried his point and ob
tained them; , but by what resolve of Congress I remain
ignorant to this day.
My Clerk delivered me a note soon after, in Dr. Ship
pen's hand writing, as follows, " Dr Shippen's compFi
" ments to Mr. De la Maitre; begs he would fend him
" an exaft lift of all the Bores and medicines, &c, which
'' did belong to Dr. Morgan, and which the General and
" Congress have now direded me to take charge of as soon
" as possible."
