Présentation de l'éditeur

The object of this republication of original letters may be briefly stated. In or before the year 1834,1 forwarded to Mr. Sparks, then engaged in preparing his edition of the Works of Washington, copies of a series of letters from the Commander-in-C hief to my ancestor, General Keed, written from Cambridge in the years 1775 and 1776. They were private and confidential, and, on that account, very interesting and valuable. Mr. Sparks printed a number of these letters. He thought it right to omit certain passages in them, and to make some alterations of phraseology, and it is possible, though I have no recollection of it, he apprised me of having done so at the time. He certainly did, at a later period, in 1838. In 1847, thirteen years after Mr. Sparks spublication, appeared my Biography of Reed.
