Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution, Vol. 5
Contents:
Friday, January 17
Misrepresentations in South Carolina of European negotiation—Report of the committee on the foreign loans—Vote of thanks to Gen. Greene—Mr. Webster and Mr. Judd.
The committee on the motion of Mr. Peters, of the 13th instant, relative to a further application for foreign loans, reported that they had conferred with the superintendent of finance, and concurred in opinion with him, that the applications already on foot were as great as could be made prudently, until proper funds should be established. The latent view of this report was to strengthen the argument in favor of such funds, and the report, it was agreed, should lie on the table, to be considered along with the report which might be made on the memorial from the army, and which would involve the same subject.Secret Journals of Congress, Domestic Affairs,) 17th January, 1783, vol. 1, p. 253.9
The report thanking General Greene for his services was agreed to without opposition or observation. Several, however, thought it badly composed and that some notice ought to have been taken of Major Burner, aid to General Greene, who was the bearer of the letter announcing the evacuation of Charleston.
Mr. Webster and Mr. Judd, agents for the deranged officers of the Massachusetts and Connecticut lines, were heard by the grand committee in favor of their constituents. The sum of their representations was, that the said officers were equally distressed for, entitled to, and in expectation of, provision for fulfilling the rewards stipulated to them as officers retained in service.
