Thomas McKean to To: George Washington


Sir,
[September 26, 1781]

   Your Excellency will receive inclosed herewith copies of two Acts of Congress, one of the 20th (1) and the other of the 24th instant,(2) for your information.

   General St. Clair, with the troops of the Pennsylvania line now


-77-

here, will march for Head-Quarters as speedily as possible. I am happy that the order of Congress, for their rendezvous near Philadelphia,(3) has not impeded their proceeding to Baltimore, but rather tended to expedite it.

   With the greatest regard, I have the honor to subscribe myself, Your Excellency's Most Obedient & very humble Servant,

   Tho M:Kean President


Note: RC (DLC: Washington Papers). In a clerical hand and signed by McKean.
