Excerpt from The Life and Services of Major General John Thomas
Having long been satisfied, from the general history of the Revolution, that no officer deserved the esteem and respect of his country more than general thomas, I have been led to look more particularly into the grounds of the high estimation' in Which he was held by Washington, Congress, the Army and the Country; and am satisfied his fame was not ephemeral, but Well founded.
In this inquiry, valuable letters from generals washington, lee and schuyler, and john adams, never before published, have come to light; and are of such value, connected with the early movements of the Revolution, as to induce my consent that the whole should be published.
