Discusses Turner's observations regarding a memorial written by Major Pierre Charles L'Enfant, apparently about settling a financial claim he has with the Society of the Cincinnati members. May be referring to L'Enfant's purchase of extra Society badges: the previous year, L'Enfant purchased extra badges and paid for them with credit, but the badges are proving too expensive and are not selling. L'Enfant is now facing financial distress because he cannot repay his creditors. See GLC02437.03273, GLC02437.03275, GLC02437.03276, and GLC02437.03882.
