1From George Washington to Clark & Nightingale, 17 May 1776 [letter not found] (Washington Papers)
Letter not found: to Clark & Nightingale, 17 May 1776. On 27 May Clark & Nightingale wrote to GW : “Your Favour of the 17th Instant . . . We have Rec’d.” This letter was apparently very similar to GW’s letter of this date to Nicholas and John Brown.
