I have not received the [undecipherable] of either column of the army - nor a copy of the order establishing them, issued on the day of my departure ffrom Bedford. Upon enquiry, I find that it was copies only, of Papers that had been sent from the Secretary of State’s Office, the originals being adjudge necessary for the Archives. For want of a quorum in in the Senate, Congress have not yet proceeded on business, and it is questionable, it seems, seems whether [undecipherable] make a house today, five members being wanting for this purpose, yesterday afternoon. Bache [?] (as I expected) has opened his batteries upon your motives for remaining with the Army. As the papers I presume are sent to you, I shall not repeat them.

Mr. Schuyler and son (John) and daughter, are there, but talk of going away today, or tomorrow I am – Your affecte Go Washington Philadelphia September the 5 1794 1794
