Has heard a report that the recipient has received a letter from Doctor Griffith stating that Lee, following his court martial, was persuaded "by some members of Congress to embarrass General Washington." Wishes to know if any such letter really came from Griffith, and assures the recipient that no such events actually happened. Wonders if General Thomas Conway is somehow involved in these affairs. Though the Conway Cabal was over, Conway continued his personal attacks on Washington long afterward.
