Gentlemen,
THE fenle which the officers of the second battalion
express, in this obliging Address, of my attention to,
and ztal in the service of my bleeding country, in that par
ticular line of duty marked out bv their free unanimous voice,
is not only very h norab^e but allo highly plealing, as it is a
Belli proof of the regard of a corps with whom 1 have had unin
terrupted happinels ever since our firft connexion, and whole
eltecin 1 would ever studiously cultivate. At the fame time,
that I accept with thanks, as a farther mark of regard, your
congratulations, on my ls:e honorable appointment, at Lan
calte., permit me to lay, that neither that appointment, nor
your congratulations, can prevent the pain of an ingenuous
maid, unoer the conicious lenle of a want of talents for so
important a Ration. However, the cause in which we are
engaged is the cause ol Goc, who loveth julfice, and hateth
opprtfiion. He can giveefficacy to the feebleft efforts. The
concurrence of officers and privates, in a general assurance of
their zeal and readiness in the lervice of their country under
my command, pierages a happy, and, 1 trust, a fuccefsful
campaign, for which they have my hearty thanks. 1 expert
no lets liodi every friend 10 America, engaged in the lervice,
as. I can have no private or sinister view, and it is evident
union alone can lerve ourduftering country, whereas divisions
would destroy it.. DANIEL ROBERDEAU.
