Letters from a Revolutionary soldier at Valley Forge reveal ties to Washington
A Harvard University collection of William Weeks letters from the Revolutionary War shows the mix of pride and homesickness in Valley Forge camp. Weeks, a Harvard graduate and Washington's officer, writes of dining with General Washington and his wife, and of his longing for home. He notes the paradox of rising wages yet staying to serve, and observes Harvard’s change in degree rituals, mentioning a $10 family payment to gain the A M after originally earning the A B.
