Of the remaining Thirty four pages I report fifteen pages
to be private, and Nineteen pages to be official.
Under the head of "official" letters and papers I class
the following:
Letters addressed by Washington, as commander in chief,
to the President of Congress.
Official letters to governors of states and speakers of
legislative bodies
Circular letters.
General orders
Communications (official) addressed as President to
his Cabinet.
Letter accepting the command of the army, on an
expected war with France.
All others I class as "private".
The paper marked A, hereto annexed, is offered in evidence
by the plaintiffs. It has been carefully compared by me
with the original, and I hereby certify it to be a
correct copy
The paper marked B, hereto annexed is offered in
evidence by the defendants. All of which is respectfully
submitted.
