ALS, [n.d.] : [s.l.], to Benjamin Walker.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/15581486

In this letter Steuben refers to his treatment by Congress. He forwards some letter (not present) to Walker, asking for a reply.

"It is contrary to my nature to flatter those people who have treated me with injustice."
