for private correspondence so much Is my time

"One-hah the year Is spent In getting troops
into the field. The other half Is lost in dis
charging them from their limited service. The
public in the meanwhile Is carrying an inn

through it is the cause of our present embar-

Thomas, who evidently had threatened to resign
because Of some personal pique.
Washington wrote. IN part:
1.-The retirement OF general ofacer possessing
the confidence Of the country and Of the Army
at 90 critical q period appears TO me big with
fatal consequences both to the publick cause
and it's own reputation. While 1t Is UNI
executed feel it my duty to make this last
effort TO prevent 1t, and TO suggest those reasons
which occur to me against your resolution.
Your own virtue Of good sense must decide
upon 1t.
I'm the usual contests Of empire and ambi-
ton the conscience of q soldier has 50 little
share that he may very properly insist on the
claims of rank and extend his pretensionS even
to punctilio. but in such a cause as this, when
the object is neither glory nor extent Of terri
tory but q defense of all that Is dear and
valued in life. surely every post ought TO be
deemed honorable IN which q man can serve
his country.
you possess the confidence and affection of
the troops of this province. Many Of them are
not capable Of judging the propriety and reason
Of your conduct Should they esteem them
selves authorized by your example TO leave the
service the consequences may be fatal and
irrevtrievable. There is reason 70 fear 1t from
the personal affection of the men to their
officers and the obligations that are supposed
to rise from these attachments.
But sir, the other colonies have also q
claim upon you not only as a native of North
America but as an inhabitant of this province.
They have made common cause with it. They
have sacrificed their trade, loaded themselves
with taxes and are ready. to spill their blood
in vindicaton of the rights of Massachusetts,
Bay while all the prosperity Of neutrality has
been offered them. But no acts or temptations
could seduce- them from your side and leave
you O prey to cruel and peTfldious ministry.
Surely these reflections must have some weight
with a mind as generous and considerable as
yours. .
ct shall fatter myself that these reasons,
together with others that your own good judg-
against impulses which are incident to
humanity and laudabIe to q certain degree and
that the result win be your resolution to serve
your country in this day of distress"
ACK of supplies, lack of money, lack of a
regular army, lack of discipline, desertion
mutiny and epidenics were constant sources of
worry to George washington, even when the
tide of the Revolution was turning in favor of
the colonies.
In his general correspondence he had little
to say of these things. But in letters to his
brother, Samuel washington, hitherto appar-
entity unpublished he unburdened himself In
his more pessnlistic moments.
These letters were obtained from the archives
of the Pennsylvania. Historical Society. On
August 1, 17eO, he wrote from his camp near
Fort Lee: .s -.-

1t is told in letter written the next o9y,
December 26, 1776, to Maj. Gen. William Heath,
commander of the Continental forces, left to
watch and harass the British In New York,
with whom the commander In chief kept up
constant correspondence during the darkest
days of the struggle for independence.

WAsHINGToNs Letter follows:
!" Dec Is, 1T76.
ct have the pleasure of congratulating you
upon the success of an enterprise which had
formed against q detachment of the enemy
living in Trenton, which was executed yester-
day morning. The evening Of the 25th or
dered the troops intended for this service,
which were about 24OO to parade back of
McKonkys Ferry that they might begin to pass
as soon as it grew dark imagining we should
be able to throw them all over, with the neces-
sary artillery, by IL o'clock, and that we might
easily arrive at Trenton by in the morning,
the distance being about nine miles.
But the quantity of icS~ made that night
inpeded the passage of the boats SO much that
it was O'Clock before the artillery could all
be got over and near before the troops took
up their line of march This made me despair
of surprising the town and I well knew we
could not reach it until the day was finally
broke, but as 1 was certain there was no making
a retreat without being discovered and harassed
On repassing the river, I determined to push
on at all events.
81 formed by detachment into two divisions,
one to march by the lower or river road and
the other by the upper or Pennytown road. As
the divisions had nearly the same distance to
march, I ordered each of them Immediately
upon forcing the outguards to push directly
into the town that they might charge the enemy
before they had time to form. The upper
division arrived at the enemy's advanced post
exactly at o'clock and in minutes after
found from the fire on the lower road, that
that division had also got up.
"The outguards made but small opposition,
though for their numbers they behaved very
we'll. Keeping up constant retreating FIRE from
b.tind houses. We presently saw their main
bJly formed, but from their motions they
s. med undetermined how to act being hard
pressed by our troops. who had already got
possession of part of their artillery, they at
tempted 10 file on by road on their right
leading TO- Prince Town. but pereeiying their

from our disposition that they were surrounded
and that they must inevitably be cut to pieces
II they made any resistance, they agreed to lay
down their arms.
THE number that submitted IN this manner
were % officers, with others who were
found wounded in the town. I don't exactly
know how many they had killed, but fancy
not above IS or 80, as they never made any
regular stand. Our loss is trifing: only two
officers and one or two privates wounded.
ind that the detachment of the enemy con-
sisted of three regiments, to wit: of Zampach,
Kniphausen and Roll, amounting to about 500
men, and a troop of light horse but Immediately
on the beginning of the attack all those not
killed or taken rushed down the road toward
BordentoWn. They would likewise have fallen
into our hands could my plan have been COM
pletely carried into execution. Gen. Ewing was
to have crossed before day at Trenton Ferry
and taken possession of the bridge leading out
of town, but the quantity of ice was 80 great
that though he did everything in his power to
effect it he could not get over.
This dfnHculty also hindered Gen. CadwaI-
lader from crossing with the Pennsylvania
militia from Bristol. He got part Of his foot
over. but. finding it impossible to embark his
artillery, he was obliged to desiSt. am conf
dent that could the troops under Gen. Cad
wallader and Gen. Ewing have passed the river
should have been able with their assistance
to have driven the enemy from all their posts
being inferior to those below me and q strong
battalion of light infantry at Prince Town,
thought it more prudent to return the same
evening with my prisoners and the artillery
we had taken.
I'VE found no stores of any consequence in
the town. In justice to the officers and men,
must add that their behavior on this occasion
reflects the highest honor upon them. The
difficulty of passing the river in a very severe
night and then march through violent storm
of snow and hail did not in the least abate
their ardor. but after they came to the charge
they seemed to wye with each other In pressing
foreward, and was TO give a preference to any
particular corps should do great injustice
to the others.
II some time ago mentioned to you the Inn
portance of attacking the enemys outposts
when it can be done with any prospect Of sue
cess. The best Of consequences must result from
their being harassed ON every occasion on that
quarter. GEORGE WASHINGTON"
