To the Honorable M ij>r General Baron de Stuben;
Infpedor General of the army.
SIR,
TH E object for which we took upon us the pro
feflion of arms, being accomplished, we are flow
about to retire from the field, and return to the class
of private citizens, but before we separate for ever
permit us, the officers of the two New-York regiments
of infantry, to express our feelings towards you on
this occasion.
The essential and distinguished services you have ren
dered this country, must inspire the breast of every
citizen of America with sentiments of gratitude and
efleem, but we, fir, fell sentiments of another nature,
your unremitted exertions on all occasions to alleviate
the distresses of the army, and the manner in which
you have Ihared them with us, have given you more
than a common title to the character of our friend;
as our military parent we have long considered you.—
Ignorant as we were of the profeffion we had undertak
en, it is to your abilities and unwearied assiduity
we are indebted for that military reputation we finally
attained; we therefore feel ourselves bound to you by
the strongest ties of affeflion, and we now take leave
of you with that regret which such sentiments must
eccafion.
Wishing you long to enjoy in health and happiness,
thole rewards which your services have merited, and
which a grateful people cannot fail to bellow. We have
the honour to remain,
Sir, Your most obedient
and very humble servants.
Signed by the officers of the two regiments.
To the Officers of the two New-York Regiments of
Infantry.
Gentlemen,
THE pleasure with which T receive this affeHionate,
this friendly address is mixed with pain, when I
recoiled the occasion that procuers me this honor.
With the most lively sensations of gratitude, I receive
from the officers of the two New-York regiments of
infantry, this honorable testimony of my conduct, since
I have had the fatisfaHiin of ferviog with them; but
while I feel myfelf happy in their applause, I should be
wanting to candor did I not declare, that if my en
deavours in the service of the United States have been
fuccefrful, it is alone owing to the confidence with
which the officers of the American army have been
pleased to honor me, and to their uncommon defite of
indruHion.
Altho' a Granger to your cufloms, and ignorant of
your language, you placed a confidence in my milita
ry knowledge and integrity, which enabled me to form
and pursue a system of discipline, a Heady attention to
which, actuated by a desire to arrive at the head of
your profeffion, were the means by which you attain
ed to that perfection in the military art, w n'ch has
fojuftly entitled you to the plaudit and admiration of
every connoisseur who has seen you.
Your exertions in favor of your country have been
crowned with success, and you are now returning to
private life; I am happy in the idea, that you will
be received by your fedow citizen#, with that affidion
and gratitude you have so just a claim to, and that
you will finally meet the reward of those virtues which
have, in so eminent a degree, dignified the American
army: whatever may be my future situation in life, I
shall carry with me an affection for the officers of the
two New-York regiments of infantry, which will only
cease with my exiflence.
With those affectionate sentiments which real friend
fhip inspires.
I have the honor to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient humble servant,
(Copy.) STEUBEN,
Major-General.
