15From George Washington to Major General Philip Schuyler, 14 June 1776 (Washington Papers)
I was favored with Yours of the 10th instant with Its several Inclosures. The stroke meditating by the Indians against our Frontier Inhabitants, is what I have long thought would happen, as they were not Engaged in our Interest; But I am in full Hopes You will be able to repel their hostile Designs & Convince them of their Imprudence in Joining our Enemies without the least Cause of Quarrell....
16From George Washington to Philip Schuyler, 5 May 1779 (Washington Papers)
I had closed the within letter, but had retained it for a conveyance when I received yours of the 24th ultimo.

They dread operations of which they must have heard, and wish to escape their effects. On the whole, however it may be...

I doubt...

20From George Washington to Major General Philip Schuyler, 4 October 1775 (Washington Papers)
Your Favor of the 20th Ult: came safely to Hand, and I should have dispatched the Express much sooner, but Colo. Arnold’s Expedition is so connected with your operations that I thought it most proper to detain him till I could give you the fullest account of his progress. This Morning the Express I sent him returned and the Inclosure No. 1. is a Copy of his Letter to me. No. 2. is a Copy of a...
