Elmer, Ebenezer (1752-1843). New Jersey native who served in the Continental Army, practiced medicine, and represented New Jersey in the US Congress. ALS, "Eben Elmer," 1p, 7 x 9.5 in., Trenton, NJ. June 13, 1783. Elmer, who was a physician in Bridgeton, NJ, at the time, recognizes the military service of an unidentified patriot at the close of the Revolutionary War. He writes, in part:
As I have not had the pleasure of seeing you since our emancipation, suffer me to congratulate you upon your happy return to the tranquil path of domestic life after a severe & long conflict in the dangerous & troublesome duties of a Patriot soldier.
May the prosperous gales of a beneficent providence waft you along the gilded currant of time & conjugal endearment's consummate the felicity of the minutes as they pass.
An exceptional letter from one Revolutionary War veteran to another.
