TO THE PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS.
Philadelphia, 8th September, 1778.
Sir,
I pray your Excellency to remind the Congress, that I still wait to receive their orders, and though I am sensible that they have many and important affairs under their consideration, yet I must entreat them to reflect on the peculiar situation I have for some time past been placed in, and inform me if they desire my further attendance.
I have the honor to be, with the highest respect, your Excellency's, &c.
SILAS DEANE.
