George Washington shows the importance of stealth and creativity by creating ciphers and codes for him and some government acquaintances to use when trading important yet, not for the public information, for example he used ciphers and codes to make sure no one knew of his whereabouts. He used codes and ciphers not only for privacy but as i said he used it for secrecy of private information "Sir. Dqpeu Beyocpu agreeable to 28. met 723. not far from 727. & received a 356. . . . Every 356. is opened at the entrance of 727. and every 371. is searched, that for the future every 356. must be 691. with the 286. received." is one example of George Washington using his ciphers and codes to keep the public from knowing what he was talking about.
