Ron Chernow Quote
On December 12, 1799, Washington sent Hamilton a letter applauding his outline for an American military academy: The establishment of an institution of this kind . . . has ever been considered by me as an object of primary importance to this country.44 It was the last letter George Washington ever wrote. After riding in a snowstorm, he developed a throat infection and died two days later. Washington did not live to see the government transferred to the new capital that was to bear his name.
