11From George Washington to Henry Lee, 21 July 1793 (Washington Papers)
I should have thanked you at an earlier period for your obliging letter of the 14th ulto, had it not come to my hands a day or two only before I set out for Mount Vernon; and at a time when I was much hurried, and indeed very much perplexed with the disputes, Memorials and what not, with which the Government were pestered by one or other of the petulant representatives of the Powers at War....
12From George Washington to Henry Lee, 16 October 1793 (Washington Papers)
(Private) Dear Sir, Mount Vernon 16th Oct. 1793. Since my arrival at this place I have been favoured with your letters of the 17th ulto and 7th instt.
