4To George Washington from Jedediah Huntington, 16 April 1783 (Washington Papers)
I began to be anxious about the Situation and Temper of the Soldiers engaged for the War—although many of them are willing to stay a little longer—some are very desirous of going immediately, and all of them considering their Engagements fulfil’d, a few may excite the whole to Disturbances—the non commissioned Officers of the 1st & 3d Connect.

It was unknown to me that my Son Mr. Jabez Huntington had declined his Majority until his Resolution had been communicated to the War Office; as the Appointment was in Compliance with his sollicitation, some very imposing Advice must (as I learn) have swayed him to take a Step that his Constituent could not expect—I was not anxious as to the Success of his Application but am much so that he...

9To George Washington from Brigadier General Jedediah Huntington, 27 December 1777 (Washington Papers)
Most or all the within Commands might be releived by the Troops near the North River without any Inconvenience that I can see, at present the Men are without any regular Payments of Money or Clothes, and being out of the Care & Inspection of their own Officers, I fear many of them will run away.
