The correspondence on "Col." Richard Henry Lee intrigued me and I found a site which suggests that he was indeed not a Col. in the Revolutionary Army. It indicates that he was a very great and influential politician who was a leader in the Revolution and was trusted by the other leaders of the Revolution, including General George Washington and Samuel Adams. The site I reference is: http://www.amphilsoc.org/library/mole/l/lee.pdf. Lots of interesting information there for anyone seeking truth. Just wanted to pass this along. Lorraine
