296To George Washington from Major General Nathanael Greene, 28 March 1780 (Washington Papers)
I got into Town on Saturday Night, but too late to do any business. On Sunday nothing was to be done. Yesterday I had a conference with a Committee of Congress. The public is insolvent to all intents and purposes. The treasury is without money, and the Congress are without credit. There seems to be so many difficulties laid in the way of settleing accounts, that people begin to be afraid to...

300To George Washington from Major General Nathanael Greene, 8 October 1780 (Washington Papers)
The enclosed is an account given by a deserter just come to this Post. It is probable; if the person is a spy, he will be in Camp to day, and perhaps to morrow, as the army will be on the move, and uncertain where it is marching to. To fix that, may detain him a day longer & I have thought it of sufficient importance to send an Express; as the detection of spies is an interesting matter to the...
