Side 115 - ... yesterday's transaction rather increasing than abating, and your politeness in wishing to ease him of it, have induced me to detach him from this army with a part of it, to reinforce or at least cover the several detachments at present under your command. At the same time that I felt for General Lee's distress of mind, I have had an eye to your wishes, and the delicacy of your situation ; and have therefore obtained a promise from him, that, when he gives you notice of his approach and command,...‎

Side 113 - You are immediately to proceed with the detachment commanded by General Poor, and form a junction as expeditiously as possible with that under the command of General Scott. You are to use the most effectual means for gaining the enemy's left flank and rear, and giving them every degree of annoyance. All Continental parties, that are already on the lines, will be under your command...‎

Side 379 - French fleet, and the zeal of the commander of it ; but in a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude ; every man will speak as he thinks, or, more properly, without thinking, and consequently will judge at effects without attending to the causes.‎

The hand of Providence has been so conspicuous in all this, that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith, and more than wicked, that has not gratitude enough to acknowledge his obligations. But it will be time enough for me to turn preacher, when my present appointment ceases ; and therefore I shall add no more on the doctrine of Providence...‎

Side 142 - The peculiar situation of General Lee at this time requires that I should say nothing of his conduct. He is now in arrest. The charges against him, with such sentence as the court-martial may decree in his case, shall be transmitted, for the approbation or disapprobation of Congress, as soon as it shall have passed.‎

Side 140 - I resolved nevertheless to attack them ; and for that purpose ordered General Poor, with his own and the Carolina brigade to move round upon their right and General Woodford upon their left and the artillery to gall them in front.
