James Armistead This is to certify that the bearer by the name of James has done essential services to me while I had the honour tocommand in this state.  His intelligences from the enemy’scamp were industriously collected and faithfully delivered.He perfectly acquitted himself with some important commissions I gave him and appears to me entitled to every reward his situation can admit of.  Done under my hand, Richmond, November 21st, 1784.                  Lafayette
