To George Washington from Wilhelm von Knyphausen, 21 January 1782

Sir	New York January 21st 1782

I had the honor of addressing myself to Your Excellency in the Month of November, respecting the Hessian Prisoners of War in Philadelphia: having never been favored with an Answer, I embrace this oppertunity of transmitting a Copy of my former letter, flattering myself that the Passport which I again solicit will be granted, unless motives to which I am a stranger outweigh every consideration of their present distresses. I have the Honor to be Sir Your Excellency’s most obediant humble Servant
