To George Washington from Major Henry Lee, Jr., 19 June 1780
From Major Henry Lee, Jr.
19th June. 80
My dear Genl,
I have had variety of intelligence from the enemy this day—none very pointed or material—But it is of such a tenor, that I am firmly of opinion you will hear of Genl Clintons being before West point in less than 48 hours.
Be pleased to excuse this laconic note, it proceeds from the anxiety I feel—I will be more full tomorrow If requisite—this wind is very fair. I am very affcy your Exclys h: sevt
Henry Lee Junr
ALS, DLC:GW. A note on the cover of the letter reads: “p. dragoon.” GW’s secretary Robert Hanson Harrison mistakenly docketed the letter 20 June.
