Resolutions & address of the Cincinnati troop of horse communicated by A St Clair received Aug 29th 1798 Sir,

               It is with peculiar satisfaction that 

I present to you, at the request of the officers & privates of the Troop of Horse organized and equipped at this place their resolutions and address tendering their services to the united States; and they are equipped, Sir, in a manner that would ^do honor to any Troop of Horse in the World

      Their offer, Sir, is the effusion of pure

patriotism, and may be considered as the first fruits of an infant people, offered to the Country which with pride they call their mother Country—who are grateful for the ample protection they have received, and who look forward, as to a very distant Object, to the time when they should be admitted to an equal participation of all the privileges and advantages secured by its Constitution; and who have seen with admiration

                                      the

the unexampled instances of temper, of vertue, of firmness and a sincere desire of peace which the Govern- ment have exhibited:– In the support of that[Constitution] and its administration they are ready shed the last drop of their blood; for they are, Sir, a sober, an industrious and a moral people, who knew the value of liberty – In expressing these sentiments, Sir, I know that I express their sentiments, at the same time that I discharge a duty pleasing to myself, and, it is hoped will be acceptable to You.

                     I have the honor to be with all Respect
                     Sir,
                     Your obedient Servant
                     A. St.Clair
