From John Laurens to Alexander Hamilton 30 July 1780 by John Laurens Lyrics

Mr Mitchel had put the execution of your commissions in such a brain, that he left me nothing more to do than to transport my head to Labors, and give some directions about your feather. The whole will be committed to the care of Colonel Gimat. I will mount a beaver and plumage in the same stile as soon as I have a prospect of joining the Corps. Your letter tho dated the 19th did not reach me till yesterday, as it came by the post and I am not in the habit of inquiring there for Letters. General Cadwallader is just arrived in town, and I believe means shortly to pay you a visit at Head Quarters. What possesses Greene for the General Officers?

My Love to the Family.

Adieu,

John Laurens.
