COL. LEE TO HAMILTON.

Sept. 10, 1779.

My Dear Sir:

I wish you would send me a copy of General Washington’s letter of instructions to me—a copy of General Orders on the subject of the 19th and the sentence of the Court and trial. The emissaries from the Virginia party have been industrious to injure my military character.

I am, dear Sir, Yours sincerely, Henry Lee.
