George Washington to Thomas Jefferson, 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
