predated by me; bow much more
fb were they upon the present, af
ter a leparation induced by causes
in which the interest of our com
mon country have been io inti
mately interwoven. It is with the
utmost cordiality I join you in ex
ultations upon the glorious issue of ■
thercontefl in which we have been ;
engaged, and the felicitations
which you have been kind enough
to address perfonlly to me,, will
constitute no inconhderable lolace
of my future life. The vigor of
youth, which had enabled me (with
others) to druggie amid the con
flid for our independence, had
fome what been impaired by inter
vening years, yet l felt upon the
fecgtnd call of my country, that its
ardor had not been subdued. Al- j
though allured that the generation
which since that period had sprung
up, were both determined and
adequate to maintain the rights tor
which their fathers had bled, still
while a capacity for service remain
ed with me, I felt that my country
was entitled to demand the per- •
formance.
/The situation of my command
h'as net been such as to prelent a
field wherein laurels might be ■
reaped, or splendid service perform- j
ed ; yet it has not been unincum- I
bered with duties peculiar and la
borious. Conscious of having per
formed thole, I return among you
ODce more to enjoy the sweets of
domeltic life, and participate in the
general flow of social intercourse.
I am, very refpeftfully, gen
