1From George Washington to Margaret Savage, 15 April 1774 (Washington Papers)
I am really sorry I cannot give you a more agreeable account, than the following of your Suit against Dr Savage. At March Court for this County, with much difficulty, we brought the matter to a hearing, & obtained a judgement for six hundred & odd pounds, being the Sum due on the Bond to the commencement of the Suit. Against this, the Doctor filed a Writ of Error, which (as there will be no...
2From George Washington to Margaret Savage, 20 September 1772 (Washington Papers)
From the purport of Mrs Bomforts last favour by Captn Grayson it wou’d appear that my letter (and the small sum I was able to advance out of my own pocket for your immediate support) had not then got to hand; but as there is no doubt of its having done so before this; I shall not give you the trouble of having the substance of it recapitulated. In pursuance of your request, I have at length,...
3From George Washington to Margaret Savage, 27 January 1772 (Washington Papers)
By your favour of the 8th of October wch is but just come to hand, I perceive you are still without any of my letters, notwithstanding I have wrote several times to you of late, and recently addressed a letter to you, to the care of Mr Dixon of Whitehaven; which letter (enclosing a copy of the one next before it) you certainly will get. I am very sorry to inform you that your Affairs in this...
4From George Washington to Margaret Savage, 5 September 1771 (Washington Papers)

5From George Washington to Margaret Savage, 15 December 1770 (Washington Papers)
Your letter of the 18th of June came to my hands a few days ago (after my return from the Ohio, whither I had been upwards of two months). I am sorry to find by it, that you & the Doctr continue to breathe the same discordant life, you did in this Country; especially too as there appears to be so little prospect of amendment; and it is with infinite concern I have further to observe to you,...
6From George Washington to Margaret Savage, 4 July 1768 (Washington Papers)
Your Note without name or date to it I have just now received by your maid. The contents (knowing it to be your hand writing) I shall communicate to Mr Fairfax, & concur with him, in pursuing such measures for recovery of the money, as the Bond directs; in the mean time, I beg you will be settled in your purposes, & no longer tantalize Doctor Savage, by giving him expectations of your...
7From George Washington to Margaret Savage, 28 June 1768 (Washington Papers)
If the most solemn asseverations of a man are sufficient to give credit to his report—If the honor and veracity of a Gentleman are things sacred enough to extort the truth, we have all the reason imaginable to conclude that Doctr Savage is entirely ignorant of the part you act in respect to the bond given in Trust to Mr Fairfax & myself for your use; because these several assurances he has...
