Sumner's People-An Original Letter
from General Washington.
In Pollard's "Southern History of the
First Year of the War " an original
letter from General Washington to onC
of the immortal Signers (and still pre.
served in the family), is for the fistt
time allowed to meet the public eye. It
was written from Wnshington's head
,quarters, near Boston, in th.e midst of
the struggle for American Independence.
The picture it draws of Massachusetts
people is strangely different from what
they have sought with such pertinacity
to impose on the public as a trne repre.
.sentation of their character. If Wash.
ington was not mitakn in his jndg.
ment of "these people." many of them
i19 775 were much the same as the
present generation showed themselves
in seeking to fill their quota with ne
groes obtained from distant States, and
by seizing freshly lauded emigranta and
forcing them into the army, and who
now, under the lead of their Sumners
and Wilsons, seen determined to keep
up a war of strife and bitterness, and to
prevent a reconstruction of the Union.
'The letter to which we refer will doubt.
less prove interesting to our readers,
and is given below as it is printed on
pages 331-2 of the volume referred to:
CAMP AT CAMBRIDOG,
August 29, 1775. 1
DEAR Sin: * * * As we have
now nearly completed our lines of de.
fence, we have nothing more, in my
.opinion, to fear from the enemy, provt.
ded we can keep our men to their duty,
.and make thom watchful and' vigilant;,
but it is among the most difficult tasks I
ever under-took in- my life to induce
these people to believe that is or can be
- danger till the bayonet is pushed at
their breasts ; not that it proceeds from
any uncommon pro,wess, but rather
from an unaccountable kind of stupidity
in the low;r class of these people, which
'believe me, prevails too generally
among officers o the Massachsetts 'part
of the army, who are nearly f the same
kidney with the privates, add adds not
a little to iny diffidulties, ,as there is no

gentleman wIl stand an equal chance of
being promoted, according to his merit;
in the other all offices will be confined to
the inhabitants of the four New England
Governments, which in my opinion is iin
politic to a great degree. I have made a
pretty good show amoig such kind of
officers. as the Massachusetts Govern.
ment abounds in since I came to.this
camp; having broken one colonel and
two captains for cowardly behavior in
the action on Bunker's Hill; two cap
tains for drawing more provisions 'and
pay than they had men in their compa
ny, and one for being absent frot his
post when the enemy appeared there
and burnt a house just by it. Besides
these, I have at this tinie one colonel,
one major, one captain, and two subal.
terns, tinder arrest for trial. In short, I
spare none, and yet fear it will not all
do, as these people seem to be tod inat
tentive to everything but their interest.

have been so many great and capital
errors and abuses to rectify-so many
examples to make, and so little inclina.
tion in the officers of inferior rank to
contribute their aid to accomplioh this
work, that toy life has been nothing
else (since I came here) but one contin
nal round of vexation and fatigue. In
short, no pecuniary recompense could
induce me to undergo what I have; es
pecially, as I expect,, by showing so
little countenance to irregularities and
public abuses, as to render myself very
obnoxious to a great part of these people
But as I have already greatly exceeded
the bounds of a letter, I will not trqu.

feelings.
