 It was a hundred years before historians dug the incriminating documents out, and by that time even the Judge Advocate General himself could not reach this slightly mercenary brigadier [General James Wilkinson]. The curious may go to the Archiva Historico-Nacional in Spain. And there, in Estado Legajo No. 3898 B*, they will find the whole treasonable scheme writ large.
