		In his December 15, 1811 letter to Bushrod Washington, Lafayette lamented the loss of his papers "in the revolutionary storms of Europe" and asked that his letters and copies of General Washington's letters be sent to him.
		Lafayette often refers to himself as Washington's "adopted son," and his admiration of the general is eloquently revealed in his letters, from the earliest ones written from Valley Forge in 1777 to the 1790 letter by which Lafayette sends to Washington the key to the Bastille.
		This bound volume of letters is very possibly one created in response to a request made by Lafayette to Washington's nephew George Augustine Washington for copies of his letters written to the general during the Yorktown Campaign.
