3From George Washington to William Triplett, 25 September 1786 (Washington Papers)
If Mr Lund Washington has not misconceived the conversation which passed between you & me the day you lay ill in bed; or if you understood the matter in the same light he seems to have done, I find there is another mistake between us respecting Mrs French’s land, which it behooves me to clear up as soon as possible. He thinks you asked me if I meant to take the Land for the term of robinson’s...
