MEMORANDUM FOR: THE DIRECTOR
You will recall there was discussion of
George Washington's activities at the recent
meeting with Mr. Cannon's Subcommittee.
Walter Pforzheimer advises there are obstacles
to photographing our present exhibit., However,
he suggests the book by Bakeless, TURNCOATS,
TRAITORS AND HEROES, which, while
apparently disappointing to some, is nevertheless
the most comprehensive single volume on the
subject.
