To George Washington from Dutee Jerauld, 16 June 1782
Highlands 16th June 1782
sir,
Disagreeable as it is to me to quitt the service of my Country particularly at this time, yet my domestic business renders it indispensible, for which reason I must request that your Excellency will be pleased to accept this my resignation. I am with respect your Excellency’s most Obedient, humble servant
Dutee Jerauld Capt.
