232From George Washington to Robert Morris, 26 May 1794 (Washington Papers)
As I have other unproductive landed property in the Western Country besides that which you seem disposed to become the purchaser of—and some also in Virginia, which, in my opinion, promises the richest future harvest of anything of the kind I have contemplated. I offer the whole to you upon the terms mentioned in the enclosed paper. Were my prospects different from what they really are, not...
233From George Washington to Robert Morris, 5 February 1795 (Washington Papers)
If any land, of which I am possessed on the Ohio River, is thought an eligable site for a town; and those who wish to see one established thereon, and, at the sametime, are disposed to promote the measure; will come forward with some digested plan, in writing, for my consideration, no unfounded objections will, I am persuaded, be made on my part.

234From Thomas Jefferson to Robert Morris, 19 February 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
I have never lost sight of the present of your Spanish sheep , nor lessened in my conviction of it’s importance. But during the latter part of my stay in Philadelphia no safe opportunity occurred for sending them to Virginia, and in the beginnings of my operations here too many other things pressed upon me more indispensably. I am now prepared to send for them in the spring and to have them...

General Schuyler and other persons concerned with him have empowered me to act for them in the case of certain lands in Cosby’s Manor which you and others as Trustees of the Ringwood Iron Company have advertised for sale on the fifth instant.

239From George Washington to Robert Morris, 14 September 1795 (Washington Papers)
The motives which give birth to this letter, proceed as much from private friendship, as they do from a sense of public duty; whatever therefore may be the effect produced by it I presume on your excuse for the trouble it will give you.
