George Washington Papers

From George Washington to Benjamin Lincoln, 24 April 1782

Head Quarters Newburg April 24 1782

Dr Sir

I take the liberty to inclose you a Letter from Colo. Vanschaaik—of the 1st New York Regiment—asking a continuation of that leave of absence which Congress before granted him—what that leave was I know not, but I think it absolutely necessary that something should be determin’d on in this matter—as Colo. Vanscaaik has already been absent from the Army near a twelve month. I am Dr Sir &c.
