To Thomas Jefferson from George Washington, 18 January 1792

From George Washington

Wednesday 18th. Jany. 1792

Dear Sir

The conduct of Majr. L’Enfant and those employed under him, astonishes me beyond measure!—and something more than even appears, must be meant by them—When you are at leisure I should be glad to have a further conversation with you on this subject.—Yrs. sincerely & affectionately,

Go: Washington

RC (DLC); endorsed by TJ as received 18 Jan. 1792 and recorded in SJPL, where the note is described as being “on Lenfant’s conduct.” See Editorial Note on fixing the seat of government, at 1 Apr. 1791 (Vol. 20: 60).
