Lee, Charles, 1731-1782
Lee was a veteran British Army officer who settled in America in 1773 and was appointed a major general in the Continental Army at the outbreak of the Revolution. In 1778, he was appointed to lead the attack at the Battle of Monmouth, but instead retreated without warning, apparently ignored orders from George Washington, and afterward demanded an apology from him. Lee was suspended and later dismissed from the Army.
From the description of ALS, 1776 Jan. 30, Stamford, Ct., to Robert Morris, Philadelphia. (Rosenbach Museum & Library). WorldCat record id: 86156133
