2312To George Washington from Bryan Fairfax, 20 July 1768 (Washington Papers)
I have received Your favor of the 20th and am the more confirmed in the Opinion I had of Doctor Savage’s being fully persuaded that his Wife really & sincerely desires the Relinquishment of the Bond, and therefore am not at all surprised that he should in such case desire it also. The Week before the last she sent to me desiring that I would make a demand for the money, and also that I would...
2313To George Washington from Bryan Fairfax, 30 July 1768 (Washington Papers)
Since I wrote to You last I have received a Letter from Dr Savage wherein he says that his Wife acknowledges that she had once in a discontented Mood expressed a Dislike to parting with the Bond, but that she fully convinced me at our last meeting of her earnest desire to relinquish it: At the same time Mrs Savage also wrote to me begging a thousand pardons of You & me for the trouble she had...

2316To George Washington from Bryan Fairfax, 20 January 1772 (Washington Papers)
I have just time to inform You by Mr Henderson that I sent up to Mr Smith and acquainted him that I had sold the Tract on little River provided he had not done so; and that he informed me that he had not, having been with some to look at the Land but as they had no Money he would not agree with them; so that you may depend upon having it if you don’t dislike it when you come to see it.

2317To George Washington from Bryan Fairfax, 5 August 1774 (Washington Papers)
I received your Favour of the 20th of July, and must own that I thought it odd at first that my Letter was not read till I considered that I had no Right to have it done, as every one who chose it ought to have been present, and till I perceived by your Letter that the Committee were against it. If there had been no Reason for refusing it but a Persuasion that the Sentiments contained in it...
