To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The same cause has doubtless had its effect upon some of your general statements. I will cite two instances : Page 378 you say of General Schuyler, "His friends urged him "to silence the growing suspicion of his cowardice ; he answered, ' If there is a battle I shall certainly expose myself more than is pru- dent.'" His answer to those insinuations has been already given in the extract of his letter to Mr. Duer. The words you quote as his reply appear to be made up from portions of his letter t...o Mr. Jay upon a very different occasion, and not in reply to any communication.
On the next page you say : "Alarmed by Schuyler's want of fortitude, he (Washington) ordered to the North, Arnold, who was fearless," etc.
33 It seems hardly necessary to place that construction upon an order of General Washington, arising froin a request of Oeneral Schuyler to send him an active and spirited officer to drill his raw militia.
For these reasons, and because the papers you have sent me, as well as the allusions in your last note to the action of Con- gress, do not seem to justify the conclusions you have drawn, I liad hoped — and still hope — that you may be disposed to recon- sider them ; and if favorably, I have supposed that you would prefer yourself to apply the remedy.
