[Harlem Church, 3 d Aug t . 1776]

Dear Jay

If you play Truant thus, Le tout est perdue . How do you expect that your unruly Horses can be kept in Order by a Whip and a Spur. They want the Reins. On Tuesday next it is to be determined as to the Seat of our General. 1 Unless &c a . &c a . I would not give a Fig for your Resolution. This is not the worst of it make haste, Yours

Gouv r . Morris
