Major General Nathanael Greene and Colonel Richard Humpton, both officers in the Continental Army, write Lieutenant Colonel Francis Gurney to certify that he is innocent of providing any support or information to the United Kingdom. After "being directed by His Excellency General Washington to" investigate, General Greene explains that he "was astonished to find it so wholely groundless so as not to leave the least trace for suspicion." Colonel Humpton also argues that Gurney never provided "any intelligence or assistance to the Enemy." Transcript included.
