141From George Washington to Lund Washington, 10 May 1776 (Washington Papers)
As I am not able to form any Idea of the time of my return, and as it is very reasonable and just that Mr Custis should be possessed of his Estate, although it is not in my power (circumstanced as I am at present) to Liquidate the Accounts and make a final settlement with him, I have wrote to the Clerk of the Secretary’s Office for Authentic Copies of the last Accounts which I exhibited...

143From George Washington to Lund Washington, 10–17 December 1776 (Washington Papers)
Hurried as I am and distressed by a number of perplexing circumstances I will write you a few Lines in acknowledgment of yr Letters of the 20th & 26th Ulto. I wish to Heaven it was in my power to give you a more favourable Acct of our situation than it is—our numbers, quite inadequate to the task of opposing that part of the Army under the Command of Genl Howe, being reduced by Sickness,...
144From George Washington to Lund Washington, 26 November 1775 (Washington Papers)
I well know where the difficulty of accomplishing these things will lie. Overseers are already engaged (upon shares) to look after my business. Remote advantages to me, however manifest and beneficial, are nothing to them; and to engage standing Wages, when I do not know that any thing I have, or can raise, will command Cash, is attended with hazard; for which reason I hardly know what more to...

146From George Washington to Lund Washington, 19 May 1780 (Washington Papers)
Your Letter of the 10th came to hand last night. I have not yet had leizure to look into the Papers relative to Mercers business; & when I shall, is more than I am, at this moment, able to say, as new scenes are beginning to unfold themselves, which will by no means lessen my present trouble, or attention—You ask how I am to be rewarded for all this? There is one reward that nothing can...

149From George Washington to Lund Washington, 19 August 1776 (Washington Papers)
Very unexpectedly to me, another revolving Monday is arrived before an Attack upon this City, or a movement of the Enemy—the reason of this is incomprehensible, to me—True it is (from some late informations) they expect another arrival of about 5000 Hessians; but then, they have been stronger than the Army under my Command; which will now, I expect, gain strength faster than theirs, as the...
