Resignation Address of George Washington
December 23, 1783

The great events on which my resignation depended having at length taken place; I have
now the honor of offering my sincere Congratulations to Congress and of presenting myself
before them to surrender into their hands the trust committed to me, and to claim the
indulgence of retiring from the Service of my Country.
 Happy in the confirmation of our Independence and Sovereignty, and pleased with the
opportunity afforded the United States of becoming a respectable Nation, I resign with
satisfaction the Appointment I accepted with diffidence. A diffidence in my abilities to
accomplish so arduous a task, which however was superseded by a confidence in the
rectitude of our Cause, the support of the Supreme Power of the Union, and the patronage
of Heaven.

The Successful termination of the War has verified the most sanguine expectations, and my
gratitude for the interposition of Providence, and the assistance I have received from my
Countrymen, increases with every review of the momentous Contest.

While I repeat my obligations to the Army in general, I should do injustice to my own

feelings not to acknowledge in this place the peculiar Services and distinguished merits of
the Gentlemen who have been attached to my person during the War. It was impossible the
choice of confidential Officers to compose my family should have been more fortunate.
Permit me Sir, to recommend in particular those, who have continued in Service to the
present moment, as worthy of the favorable notice and patronage of Congress.

I consider it an indispensable duty to close this last solemn act of my Official life, by
commending the Interests of our dearest Country to the protection of Almighty God, and
those who have the superintendence of them, to his holy keeping.

Having now finished the work assigned me, I retire from the great theatre of Action; and
bidding an Affectionate farewell to this August body under whose orders I have so long
acted, I here offer my Commission, and take my leave of all the employments of public life.
