24To George Washington from Capel & Osgood Hanbury, 14 April 1762 (Washington Papers)
We wrote thee ⅌ the Fauquier wth thy Accot Currt: it will bring pleasure to us to hear it gets to hand, and proves r⟨ig⟩ht.

We wrote thee ⅌ Capt.

We assure thee that no Care or attention is wanting...
29To George Washington from Capel & Osgood Hanbury, 20 March 1761 (Washington Papers)
Since we wrote ⅌ the Industry thy favr of Aug: 10 is come to hand.

It is also unlucky that the want of Bills of Ladeing for some Tobacco and Indigo...
