Martin's mentioning of the Declaration of Independence almost forgotten when Washington was burning: "Pleasonton acquired several coarse linen bags, and filled them with all the Department's records. This included the still-unpublished secret journals of Congress, the commission and correspondence of George Washington, the Articles of Confederation, the United States Constitutionand all the treaties, laws, and correspondence of the department made since 1789.
