21To George Washington from Major General Arthur St. Clair, 29 January 1780 (Washington Papers)
Your Excellencys Letter enclosing one to Doctor Mallet came to hand too late for that to be sent to new York to day; it shall be sent tomorrow and the Answer forwarded as soon as it arrives. The Troops are at present pretty comfortably quartered, but, in order to make it as easy to the Inhabitants as possible, they necessarily take up much Ground, which would still be the Case were the Houses...
22To George Washington from Major General Arthur St. Clair, 9 September 1780 (Washington Papers)
The Attack upon New York always appeared to me a very doubtful and hazardous Enterprise. I think it now out of the Question altogether, from the advanced Season of the Year; the scantiness of our Force; the precariousness of our Supplies; and the want of a sufficient Fleet, in which a decided Superiority is necessary to give the Undertaking the least probability of Success. If the second...

Tho. I am an utter Stranger I have taken the Liberty to write to you and request your Advice and Assistance for the Bearer Mrs Fraser the Widow of Mr John Fraser late of Bedford in this Province.

26To George Washington from Major General Arthur St. Clair, 15 November 1778 (Washington Papers)
I am sorry to inform you that Congress have not yet entered into the Consideration of my Court Mar[s]hal and that it will probably be three Weeks or a Month yet before they will take it up. This Delay is exceeding irksome but I am obliged to submit. one Reason given for it is that they cannot with any propriety go upon that untill General Lees is determined and it appears to me that they will...
27To George Washington from Arthur St. Clair, 15 April 1781 (Washington Papers)
I have been favoured with your Excellencys Letter of the 8th Inst: which has been in Part answered by mine of the 6th: in that however I was too sanguine as to the Time when the Detachment would march, which I fear it will not do in less than three weeks yet—The Application from the State to Congress for a Loan of so much Money as was necessary to put it in motion miscarried, and there is now...
28To George Washington from Major General Arthur St. Clair, 4 June 1779 (Washington Papers)

I have no Accounts from the River to Day, but there is nothing extraordinary or I should have heard from the Parties, and I have seen a Person from the Neighbourhood of Kings Ferry, who says things are in the same Situation as when I wrote...
