Description
Acknowledges letter of the 20th inst., and expresses pleasure at hearing of Gates's recovered health; he is prodigiously pestered with old affairs neglected during the war, and it requires all his attention to guard against the plunder attempted against him by those who have had nothing to do but take care of themselves; he would like to learn the plans of the James River or Potomac navigation, though he has no money to spare at present; Congress are going to build a federal town; he thinks a residence there would be most congenial to Gates.
