4From Thomas Jefferson to Charles Washington, 2 September 1780 (Jefferson Papers)
I have received your Letter of August 23. and in answer thereto am to inform you that I should not myself question but that auditors warrants, would be received in paiment for British escheated property; but I think certificates wou’d not be so received as the law has only made them paiable in taxes.

Your Letter dated the 15th of January (which I presume must be a mistake, as the bearer says he left your House the day before yesterday) came to my hands last Night.

The enclosed came to my hands from Philadelphia last night. I am sorry to find by George’s letter to me, that he had not received the benefit from the Sea Air he expected, but as his passage was not good and he in a manner but just landed, no Judgment at the time he wrote could be well formed of the effect the voyage would have upon his complaint; as he writes you himself there can be no doubt...

9From George Washington to Charles Washington, 14 February 1787 (Washington Papers)
When the enclosed was written, I knew nothing of Georges intention of visiting Berkeley. The safe conveyance offorded by him, is very favourable and gladly embraced it. Having seen Bushrod and Corben Washington on their way from Berkeley their information is the subject of this letter and is exceedingly distressing to me in as much as I have not the means of affording immediate relief. By them...
