16 CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
take Place without the Power of recruiting it. You have I
presume seen [the present] establishment of our Army. The
quota assigned to this State is one regiment of artillery and
two of infantry, and I am happy in being able to inform
you that we, I speak of this State, are nearly complete. I
am not informed of the success of the other States. In this
I have discovered as ready a disposition to enter into the
Service as at any time since the beginning of 1777, with this
advantage, that every recruit we now engage has the experience and habit of a veteran Soldier. The situation of our
finances is perhaps the only thing in human probability that
can distress us.—I am pleased with your plan of trade. I
am persuaded it would have been beneficial to the State and
had an happy effect on the temper of the inhabitants ; but
for many reasons which I decline mentioning I fear it is too
late to make the essay.
Gen1- Schuyler is in the Senate and on this account and
his own particular desire is left out of the delegation [in
Congress]. The Chancellor continues in as a special delegate but has not attended since last fall. Our friend G.
Morris resides at Philadelphia and persues his profession. I
think his election as a Member for the State in Congress, at
the next meeting of the Legislature not improbable. The
Controversy with the inhabitants of the Grants is yet undecided, but my last advices from our delegates give me reason
to hope for a speedy and just decision. The completion of
the Confederation on which I cordially congratulate you,
will facilitate this business.
I beg you to offer my best respects to Mrs. jav to whom
as well as to yourself M*s. Clinton wishes to be remembered.
Believe me to be with great sincerity
Dear Sir
Your most obedt- Servant
Geo. Clinton.
