BOSTON (AP) — A letter written by Alexander Hamilton in 1780 to the Marquis de Lafayette that was stolen from the Massachusetts state archives decades ago has been found, and now an effort is underway to return it.
The U.S. attorney's office in Boston on Wednesday filed a forfeiture complaint in federal court asking a judge to order the Revolutionary War-era letter returned to its rightful owner.
"The theft, which also involved original papers of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere and Benedict Arnold, among others, was not discovered for several years," the federal complaint said.The employee was eventually arrested in 1950. The letter to the French aristocrat who served as a general in the Continental Army appears to detail the movements of British forces.
