Enclosed with this you will receive two Books which I recd some considerable Time since at Richmond; but being then about to depart for this Place, brought them hither in the Hope of an Opportunity to send them direct to Mount Vernon.

The other Day I saw the Duc de Castries who served in America under the Title of the...
246To George Washington from Gouverneur Morris, 20 April 1776 (Washington Papers)
