A letter enclosed in the copy of Pierre L'Enfant's memorial (Archives Box 11 Folder 4A). L’Enfant asks for Henry Knox’s testimony “as to the principles on which I have acted” when the matter is brought before the Society at the next meeting. L’Enfant regrets his having to request the Society to pay the debts but says he is “embarassed beyond my own power of relief and have now no other resource to throw myself on the generosity of the Society.”
