3To George Washington from Bryan Fairfax, 15 July 1772 (Washington Papers)
I have received a Letter lately from Mr Smith wherein he makes no mention at all of the Tract of 600 Acres on Goose Creek & chattins Run; so that I may dispose of it [to] you without waiting longer for the Man he had agreed with, which it was kind in You to propose. I wish we could agree about the Land on Pohick or that on the Kittocktan for which I must take a less price still than I have...

I have received your Favor of the 14th and now inclose a copy of my Last Letter to Mrs Savage, wherein I have told her my Sentiments very freely —and if you desire we should write a joint Letter when we have the pleasure of meeting I shall be agreeable to it.

This is to acknowledge Your Favor in sending me an Accot of my Brother’s Will and also the Receipt of the Watch by Mr Muse. It can’t be expected that You should act as an Executor upon this Occasion amidst that multiplicity of Business you are engaged in.

The agreeable and long wished for News of the detachments under the Command of Major Muse and Capt. McKay having joined you in time to prevent the Success of any Attacks from the french was very satisfactory to me; whose mind was continually alarmed with the Apprehensions of your being forced to another battle when unprepared for it. The Triton arrived here the 22d with the two Companies from...
9To George Washington from Bryan Fairfax, 18 January 1782 (Washington Papers)
It would have given me Satisfaction to have paid my Compliments to Yr Excellency when You passed thro’ this County; but when You were coming from the Northward I supposed on Account of the short Stay you made at Mt Vernon that it would be more agreeable to be without Company and therefore did not think of doing it; and when You returned, You were departed again before I heard of it. Yet it is...
