THE EDINBURGH EVENING COURANT, Edinburgh, Scotland, Jan. 3, 1784  Taking 1 1/2 columns on pg. 2 are: General Washington's Farewell Orders to the Armies of the United States (see photos). The orders, delivered by the Adjutant General, Edward Hand, express Washington's gratitude and more, stating in part: "He presents his thanks, in the most serious and affectionate manner, to the General Officers...for their counsel...to the Commandants of regiments and corps, and to the other Officers, for their great zeal and attention in carrying his orders promptly into execution; to the Staff for their alacrity and exactness in performing their duties...and to the non-commissioned Officers and private Soldiers, for their extraordinary patience in suffering as well as their invincible fortitude in action....With these wishes... the Commander in Chief is about to retire from service.--The curtain of separation will soon be drawn--and the military scene to him will be closed for ever." Signed in type: Edward Hand.
