328. ALLSTON, Burr and Washington. [continued].
The enclosed copy of an affidavit from General Wilkinson authenticates
the copy of a letter from Colonel Burr to
the General, affirming that Mr. Allston his
son-in-law, is engaged in the unlawful enterprises
he is carrying on, and is to be an
actor in them. * * * It is further well known
in Washington that Mr. Allston is an endorser
to a considerable amount, of the bills
which have enabled Colonel Burr to prepare
his treasons. Nobody is a better judge than
yourself whether any and what measures can
be taken on this information.—
