Letter from General Greene to General Washington

v5:185

Prospect-Hill, March 11, 1776.

SIR: Major Cudworth, lately discharged from Colonel Whetcomb' s Regiment, has arrived, to join Colonel Bond' s. He is agreeable to the Field-Officers, and satisfactory to the Captains and subalterns. The Major is a good, prudent officer, and left the former regiment only because there was not proper order and discipline maintained in it. I esteem him worthy the appointment; and if your Excellency' s sentiments correspond with mine, should be glad he might receive an appointment to fill the vacancy in Colonel Bond' s Regiment.

I am, with profound respect, your Excellency' s most obedient humble servant,

NATHANIEL GREENE.

To General Washington.
