School of the Navy, Etc.
Description
Hamilton regrets the dismemberment of the School of the Navy from the rest because he feels that all schools should be united under the Director General. Discussed general ideas of what should be taught at the School, and the differences b/w McHenry and Hamilton's ideas on the purpose of the institution. Enclosed, "An Act for establishing an Academy for Instruction relative to the Military and Naval Service of the United States."
