A HISTORIC LETTER.
Washington Accused Other OGenerals of Plotting
Agninst Him,
A very interesting meeting of the Colum-
dence of Dr. Toner, in Washington, Among
those present were Rev. Dr. Bunderiand,
Rev, Dr. Dewit Talmage and Librarian Spof-
ford.
A letter from George Washington, hitherto
undublished, was read by Mr. Morgan. The
letter was written from Valley Forge to Col.
John Fitegerald, of Alexandria, February 28,
1778. General Washington writes in very
uncomplimentary terms of General Ges,
supposed to be Gates, General M-—, Miflin,
and General Cw, Conway. These men he
accused of having conspired to depose him
from the command of the army and refers to
them as a junta,
The paper is regarded as a valuable con-
tribution to the letters of General Washing-
