Description
Jan. 24 he sent to the President [of N. H.] a warrant dated Jan. 23, on Esqr Gilman, from the Treasurer, for $50,000; committee of Congress [C. Carroll, F. Dane, N. Folsom, G. Morris, J. Reed] is now at camp to settle measures for the next campaign; a council of officers is said to have proposed to General Washington a plan of nominating general officers; it is also suggested that all soldiers take an oath of fidelity to their officers, that all officers not in actual service at the end of the war be settled with half-pay, and that officers widows be pensioned; 129 bales of woolens and linen arrived from France for the use of the troops; a merchant in London writes that public and private credit there is low, and bankrupcies frequent; subscriptions for the new loan come in slowly, the Dutch refusing to subscribe; bills are sold at 2 3/8% discount; the English hopes depend largely upon the present campaign.
