To Robert Morris

Dear Sir,

Mrs Washington and I, will wait on you and Mrs Morris at dinner, on Monday next, with great pleasure.1

If in pursuing the bent of my own inclination, I was happy enough to pay such attention as was pleasing to you at Valley forge, it was more than the time or the place gave me any reason to hope; and the favourable light in which they are mentioned by you cannot but be pleasing to—Dr Sir Yr Most Obedt Servt

Go: Washington

ALS, NhD.
