181From George Washington to Alexander Hamilton, 15 May 1796 (Washington Papers)
On this day week, I wrote you a letter on the subject of the information received from G—— M——, and put it with some other Papers respecting the case of Mr De la Fayette, under cover to Mr Jay: to whom also I had occasion to write.

A little advanced of this, yesterday afternoon, I met an Express with the letters herewith enclosed for you, with others for the Army; with which I have directed him to proceed.
