16From George Washington to Henry Lee, 30 November 1788 (Washington Papers)
We are informed that this is the day appointed for the departure of Mrs Fendall for Norfolk—if rightly so it is not probable I shall have the pleasure of seeing you before your embarkation; and in that case, our proposed exchange of Magnolio for 5000 Acres of Kentucke Land stands upon uncertainty. It is true I am not fond of buying a Pig in a Poke (as the Phraze is) especially too of a sort...
17From George Washington to Henry Lee, 12 December 1788 (Washington Papers)
If you wish for a more formal Pedigree than the enclosed, return the one sent and an other shall be framed by the time you send for Magnolio when a Bill of Sale shall also be forwarded—And as you have it not in your power at present (for want of the Papers) to pass a deed of Conveyance to me, for the 5000 Acres of Land in Kentucke agreeably to your Memorandum—I should be glad to receive some...

I neither buy nor sell (and I have done both) without a general Warrantee. If their is no dispute with...
20From George Washington to Henry Lee, 13 February 1789 (Washington Papers)
I send you the letter you requested for Mr Jefferson under a flying seal, which, af⟨ter⟩ perusal, you will be pleased to have closed for transmission. After revolving the subject in many different points of view, I could find no expedient for communicating the information in question, in so unexceptionable a manner, as by making the latter a continuation of my corrispondence on the inland...
