Title
Petition of Monsieur Poirey
Description
McHenry discusses the petition of Monsieur Poirey, former secretary and aide de camp to the Le Marquis de LaFayette. It appears that General LaFayette was charged from time to time with very important separate commands and that M. Poirey has not received pay from the United States as either Aide de Camp or Secretary.
