1To George Washington from Andrew Lewis, 15 February 1779 (Washington Papers)
Your Excellencys Favour of the 15th of October came to my Hand the 20th of December. I should have done myself the Honour of writing you before this Time, had I been favoured with a Conveyance, and even now the Prospect of this reaching you is not so good as I could wish—The several Matters you was pleased to mention to me respecting the Situation and Circumstances of your Army, & that of the...
2From George Washington to Andrew Lewis, 15 October 1778 (Washington Papers)

By Colo. Braxton, who is chose to represent this Colony in general congress, and who will in a few days set out for Phileda, I take the Liberty of writeing you, and would have done so Long er now, and more then once, had I been in the way of oppertunity.
