2To George Washington from Colonel Thomas Proctor, 19 March 1778 (Washington Papers)
To submit to injuries wilfully commited would be implicitly giveing up the point, as well the honour we mean to support on this stage of time; Especially where characters are wounded, and secretly vilefied. The matter I wish to convey to your Excellency is the infringements of Colonel Crane, and his Colleigues, to sully the honour of my Regiment, by insinuations through different channels. I...
3From George Washington to Colonel Thomas Proctor, 22 March 1778 (Washington Papers)
I have yours of the 19th inclosing sundry papers relating to a dispute between Major Forrest and Colo. Crane, founded upon an Arrest of Capt. Proctor. I had heard of this matter before, as Colo. Crane had laid before me a letter from Major Forrest to him, which he conceived couched in very improper terms from an inferior to his commanding Officer. I refused to give any opinion upon the...
4From George Washington to Colonel Thomas Proctor and Captains Winthrop Sargent, John Doughty, and Thomas Clark, 23 March … (Washington Papers)
Business has prevented my answering yours of the 18th before this time. If I have given Capt. Duplessis a character, in my recommendation of him to Congress, which he does not deserve, I have done it through misinformation. As you very well know, I was not an eye witness of any part of his conduct or behaviour. I took the matter up from Colo. Greens letters, who commanded at Fort Mercer, and...

6To George Washington from Thomas Proctor, 9 April 1781 (Washington Papers)
It is with regret and pain that I have to sollicit your attention to a Subject which is of importance to me, and which nothing but the attachment I bear to my family would induce me to mention to my General. I was early engaged in the present struggles of my Country, and I pursued your Excellency’s fortunes at periods which required fortitude and Constancy, and nothing has suported my Zeal...
7From George Washington to Thomas Proctor, 20 April 1781 (Washington Papers)
Your favor of the 9th did not reach me untill the 18th instant—I am sorry to find that the situation of your domestic affairs renders it necessary for you to quit the service—It always gives me pain to part with an Officer, but particularly so with one whose experience and attention has made him useful in his profession. I cannot in justice to you permit you to leave the Army without...
8To George Washington from Thomas Proctor, 5 July 1789 (Washington Papers)
Be pleased to suffer the Intrussion of this address which perhaps may interfer with business of Importance, and I shall with brevity acquaint your Excellency that th[r]ough adverse and unforseen misfortunes while I continued Sheriff of the County of Philadelphia, I have been led to bear the losses of those, for whome I had once felt the utmost tenderness—even to the nonfulfilment of my duty;...
