Excerpt from Letters of Members of the Continental Congress, Vol. 5: January 1, 1780, to February 28, 1781In the present volume, as in the preceding, much the larger proportion of the materials has not hitherto been printed. One group of letters, which bulks rather large in the total and but little of which has ever been printed, is the correspondence of the committee which sat at headquarters from April to August, 1780, a correspondence which it was necessary largely to include in order to an adequate comprehension of the activities of the period and Of the proceedings of Congress in relation thereto.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
