1. Peters enclosed copies of Congress’s resolutions on this subject of 12 Oct. 1775, 16, 18–20 Sept., 7 Nov. 1776, and 22 Jan. 1777 (DLC:GW; see also JCC description begins Worthington Chauncey Ford et al., eds. Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789. 34 vols. Washington, D.C., 1904–37. description ends , 3:289, 5:762–63, 780–81, 787–88, 6:932, 7:55). GW had requested copies of these resolutions in his letter to Hancock of 10 May. The resolution of 12 Oct. 1775 authorizes subsistence allowances of two-and-two-thirds dollars a week for officers on recruiting duty, one dollar a week for new recruits in quarters waiting to join the army, and one-and-one-third dollars a week for recruits on their march to the army. The resolution of 22 Jan. 1777 increases the subsistence allowance of recruits waiting in quarters to one-and-one-third dollars a week. Peters apparently did not enclose a copy of Congress’s resolution of 17 Jan. 1776 which replaced the weekly subsistence allowance for recruiting officers with an allowance of one-and-one-third dollars for each man they enlisted or its resolution of 14 Oct. 1776 prohibiting the giving of that allowance for reenlisting soldiers already in camp (see ibid., 4:63, 6:874). The enclosed resolution of 7 Nov. 1776 repeals the latter resolution. The enclosed resolutions of 16, 18–20 Sept. 1776, which are on a one-page broadside, principally concern bounties allowed to recruits.
