From George Washington to Thomas Thomson, 18 September 1788
To Thomas Thomson
Mount Vernon September 18th 1788
Sir,
The enclosed, which I have Just received, is so full on the subject of your enquiry that I shall add nothing thereto1—although I am sorry, and feel for the disappointed hopes of your Lady to recover her lost Son, yet I am glad that it is in my power to remove, as soon as possible the painful suspence which the Impositions of Reynalds must have thrown her and the family into. I am &c.
Go. Washington
