‘7; no occasion fail of being duly ap 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 tlemen, your fellow citizen. NICHOLAS LONG. joel Abbot, ) Cimmiitee of H’ 9r < p- VMPBt,LL ’ v Arrangement. D. IT. Prince, j 6 Col.
