174, 175. MEASURES FOR DISBANDING ARMY. 481 in-chief possessed over the hearts and minds of the army, combined with their own exemplary civic virtue and patriotism, enabled him to carry it into effect to the satisfaction of both the army and Congress, not only with an empty military chest, but even before any settlement of their accounts was made. In writing to the president of Congress on the 7th of June, 1783, he says : " The two subjects of complaint with the army appear to be the delay of t...he three months payment, which had been expected, and the want of a settlement of accounts. I have thought my self authorized to assure them that Congress had attended and would attend particularly to their grievances, and have made some little variations respecting furloughs from what was at first pro posed. " He then warmly commends " the tem perate and orderly conduct of the whole army, " on the occasion of the execution of a measure so delicate and trying, and concludes with these words of touching and affectionate fidelity to his veteran followers : " Permit me to recall to mind all their former sufferings and merits, and to recommend their reasonable request to the early and favorable notice of Congress.
