A Century of Lawmaking for a New Nation: U.S. Congressional Documents and Debates, 1774-1875
Journals of the Continental Congress --FRIDAY, JANY. 17TH.
The Co?;ite. on the motion of Mr. Peters of the [thirteenth] day of [January] relative to a further application for foreign loans, reported that they had conferred with the Superintendt. of Finance, & concurred in opinion with him, that the applications already on foot were as groat as could be made prudently, until proper funds should be established. The latent view of this report was to strengthen the argt. in favr. of such funds, and the report it was agreed should lie on the table to be considered along with the report which might be made on the memorial from the army, & which wd. involve the same subject.
The report thanking Genl. Greene for his services was agreed to without opposition or observation. Several however thought it badly composed, and that some notice ought to have been taken of Majr. Burnet Aid to Gl. G., who was the bearer of the letter announcing the evacuation of Charlestown.
Mr. Webster & Mr. Judd agents for the deranged officers of the Massachusetts and Cont. lines were heard by the Gd. Committee in favr. of their Constituents. The sum of their representations was that the sd. officers were equally distressed for, entitled to, and in expectation of provision for fulfilling the rewards stipulated to them, as officers retained in service.
