Charles Armand to Alexander Hamilton, August 21, 1779

From Charles Armand
To Alexander Hamilton
August 21, 1779

Charles Armand writes to Alexander Hamilton expressing frustration over a court martial process that forces him to relinquish command and appear subordinate to Mr. de Wanderburgh, whom he does not respect. He objects to being treated like a prisoner while Wanderburgh retains authority, and awaits explicit orders from higher command before yielding his position.
