First thing to think about: It is less than 40 years since "The Declaration of Independence" and that would be one of the government documents secured against the invading English.

As suspected the English burned all important Government buildings in Washinton while they occupied it and any documents not "Secured" were burnt.

That was why even as Inept Madison was in predicting the occupation, he understood what need protecting while his wife tried to save the White House Silver.
