The Daily Dispatch: September 4, 1863., [Electronic resource], The Darkest hour of the Revolution. (search)
The Darkest hour of the Revolution. The following is a letter written by George Washington to Col. Benjamin Harrison, of Va. It contains matter which merits the deepest and most serious reflection at this time: Philadelphia, Dec. 30, 1778. To Benjamin Harrison: Dear Sir: I have seen nothing since I came here, on the 22d inst., to change my opinion of men or measures, but abundant reasons to be convinced that our affairs are in a more distressed, ruinous, and deplorable condiis, are sinking by sure degrees into beggary and want. I again repeat to you this is not an exaggerated account. That it is an alarming one I do not deny; and I confess to you that I feel more real distress on account of the present appearance of things than I have at any one time since the commencement of the dispute. But it is time to bid you adieu. Providence has heretofore taken us up when all other means and hopes seemed to be departing from us. I am yours, &c., George Washington.
