“Neglected by Congress below; pinched with every want here; distressed with the small-pox; want of Generals and discipline in our Army—which may rather be called a great rabble—our late unhappy retreat from Quebeck, and loss of the Cedars; our credit and reputation lost, and great part of the country; and a powerful foreign enemy advancing upon us; are so many difficulties we cannot surmount them.”
