3From George Washington to Brigadier General John Glover, 29 July 1779 (Washington Papers)
I have received Your favor of the 24th Instant upon the subject of the Massachusetts Arrangement. I regret the necessity that obliges good Officers to leave the service. It should be pressing indeed to induce them to such a measure at any time; but particularly at this stage of the Campaign.

I have received your favour of the 15th. In my letter of yesterday to General Heath I directed him to send you orders, immediately to join him with your brigade, which I presume you have received.

After the conversations, I had with you, before you left the army, last Winter, I was not a little surprised at the contents of yours of the first instant. As I had not the least doubt, but you would accept of the commission of Brigadier, if conferred upon you by Congress, I put your name down in the list of those, whom I thought proper for the command, and whom I wished to see preferred....
8From George Washington to Brigadier General John Glover, 4 May 1779 (Washington Papers)
I have to acknowlege your two favors of the 2d and 26 ultimo. When I directed your brigade to hold itself in readiness to march it was with an intention to employ it elsewhere for the common interest. How far this will permit me to dispense with the former order I cannot at this instant decidedly say—In a few days I possibly may determine whether two or three regiments of the other Brigade may...
