George Washington Papers

From George Washington to George Clinton, 16 June 1781

Head Quarters New Windsor 16 June 1781

Dear Sir

In my letter of this date by Colo. Stevens I only mentioned the necessity of filling Colo. Lambs Regiment of Artillery. There are the same reasons for compleating the two Regiments of Infantry. Let me entreat your Excellency to press the Legislature to devise means of procuring the deficiency for the Campaign only, if they cannot be obtained upon better terms. I have the honor to be with Respect & Esteem yr Excellency’s Most obt Servt

P.S. Every exertion should be made to fill the three years and eight Months State Regiments, as our operations in this quarter may probably require the Continental Regt at present at the Northward.
