30 June 1783
Pendleton, Edmund (1721-1803)
Autograph letter signed
Title: to James Madison re: maintaining the standing army, needed taxation, etc.
Problems of maintaining the standing army, needed taxation, Virginia proposals for the national capitol at Williamsburg or Georgetown. Raising the question of furloughing soldiers to save money
Note: This is the first letter in volume II of the albums in which the manuscripts were mounted. Through the end of volume I complete transcripts of the letters were made by Peter Force, and the Pendleton Papers used those as a text source. Material from volume II was not transcribed by Force, and the Pendleton Papers had to depend on the passages quoted in the Henkels sale catalogue.
