TO THE PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS.
Williamsburgh, 18th December, 1779.
Sir,
When I did myself the honor of writing you on the 16th of November last, the order of Congress in my favor on the continental treasurer for ten thousand five hundred dollars being mislaid, was not enclosed. I now take the liberty to enclose it, and have the honor to be, with the most sincere respect and attachment, &c.
SILAS DEANE.
