I have finally determined to accept the commission of Commander in Chief of the armies of the United States.
I must not conceal from you my earnest wish that the choice had fallen upon a man less declined in years and better qualified to encounter the usual vicissitudes of war.
Believe me, sir, no one can more cordially approve of the wise and prudent measures of your Administration.
It is with peculiar satisfaction I can say, that prompted by a high sense of duty in my attendance on public worship, I have been gratified by the liberal and interesting discourses delivered in your Churches.
