Out of eight thousand troops nearly three thousand were " barefoot and otherwise naked." Washington wrote to the President of Congress (Decem- ber 23, 1777) that unless relief came the army must either "starve, dissolve, or disperse in order to obtain sub- sistence." ^ The truth is that our men were sacrificed to the mismanage- ment or the timidity of Congress. There was no lack of provisions or of coarse clothing in the country, and at the very time the Continental Army was freezing and starvi...ng on the bleak hillsides of Valley Forge the enemy's forces in Philadel- phia, as elsewhere, could buy from the farmers all the food and fuel they wanted.** 220. The Conway plot; Steuben's services ; English peace commissioners ; battle of Monmouth. — While the American commander was pleading for help for his men, Conway (§201), "Inspector-General of the Army," was plotting with Gates to secure Washington's overthrow. Fortunately the corre- spondence between Conway and Gates leaked out, and the con- spiracy ended in ignominious failure.*® Baron Steuben (§ 201) was then appointed to Conway's place.
