From John Marshall

Dear Sir

I am closely engaged in preparing my corrections of the life, and have no doubt they will be in perfect readiness by the winter, should any printer be disposed to engage in the publication. This however is a business which we can not press. My present employment has brought to my recollection a letter which I think ought to be suppressed but which I forgot to mention to you in Washington. It is a letter written at Morristown to General Greene about the last of December 1779 or beginning of January 1780, in which General Washington expresses a good deal of dissatisfaction with General Greene about his quarters. I wish you would look at it & do what you think right. Yours truly

J. Marshall
