Summary
Important intelligence from Europe [the cooperation of Count D'Estaing in anexpedition to recover Georgia] is in public circulation together with unfoundedrumors. Washington thinks that it would be better to give information to thepeople in "some more authentic and pointed manner," and with more appearance ofauthority than has been done in this case. Dft, in hand of Alexander Hamiltonwith additions in the hand of Washington.
