21To George Washington from Brigadier General William Maxwell, 15 March 1779 (Washington Papers)
I have the pleasure to transmit to Your Excellency one of the latest papers from New York. I have had an account from Statten Island of several Letters being received there from Georgia mentioning many of the new Corps being kill there in a late Engagement: but I could not find that any of our friends saw the letters.

22From George Washington to Brigadier General Thomas Nelson, Jr., 15 March 1779 (Washington Papers)
I have to thank you for your friendly letter of the 9th and for your obliging, tho unsuccessful endeavours to procure the Horses I am endebted to my Country for. At present I have no immediate call for them, as we find it rather difficult to support the few we keep at Camp, in forage. It gives me very singular pleasure to find that you have again taken a Seat in Congress; I think there never...
23From George Washington to John Rutledge, 15 March 1779 (Washington Papers)
Lt Col. Laurens who will have the honor of delivering you this, has served two campaigns in my family in quality of aide De Camp. The whole tenor of his conduct has been such as to intitle him to my particular friendship and to give me a high opinion of his talents and merit.

25To George Washington from Jeremiah Wadsworth, 15 March 1779 (Washington Papers)

Persuaded that your Excellency punctually attends to every Thing which may respect the Eastern Department, as you declared in the first Letter I have been honoured with from you, since you are in the Chair; I hope all my Letters, since my Arrival in Boston, will be answered as far as it may be necessary for my Conduct.

27To Thomas Jefferson from Richard Henry Lee, 15 March 1779 (Jefferson Papers)
I have not been unmindful of the small commission you gave me to procure the song and receipt for you. I once had these, but they are mislaid so that I could not find them when I returned home, from Williamsburg, or they should have been sent from thence. I have here applied to Mr. Peters for the one, and to Mrs. Shippen for the other and I have hopes of getting them both. I send you herewith...
