By the Hanbury Captn Eston, I have shipd you eight Hhds of Mastr Custis’s Tobo, and hopes you will sell it to a good advantage as the prices are high in the Country, and in my opinion great appearances of a short Crop of Tobacco in this and the neighbouring Colony —These eight Hhds when sold, are to be placed to the Credit of the young Gentlemans Acct.

196From George Washington to Capel & Osgood Hanbury, 12 June 1759 (Washington Papers)
It will be needless I presume, unless it be for Formsake, to tell you so long after the thing has happend, of my Marriage with Mrs Martha Custis; you doubtless have heard of it before this can reach you, but as I thought proof might be requisite I sent over the Ministers certificate (which I was told was sufficient testimony) to Messr Cary & Compa. and to that I also refer you for your further...

201From George Washington to Carlyle & Adam, 15 February 1767 (Washington Papers)
Your Letter of the 8th of Jany did not reach my hands till Thursday Night (last) in replying thereto I must give you the trouble of reading one more scrawl, & this, depend , shall be the last, believing we have come to a pretty sufficient understanding of each others sentiments already, and which, in my opinion, may be summd up in a very few words. Had you Gentlemen been as candid in your...

203From George Washington to John Carlyle, 15 August 1770 (Washington Papers)
I laid your letter of the 26th Ulto (to me) before the Officers who met at Fredericksburg the first Inst.; but as they were unacquainted with the nature of your pretensions to a share of the 200,000 acres of Land granted in 1754 they did not choose to saddle you with any part of the expence, not conceiving that your commission as Commissary (if it is under that you claim) entitles you to any...

206From George Washington to John Carlyle, 14 May 1755 (Washington Papers)
I Overtook the General at Frederick Town in Maryld and proceeded with him by way of Winchester to this place; which gave him a good oppertunity to see the absurdity of the Rout, and of Damning it very heartily.

207From George Washington to John Carlyle, 8 October 1755 (Washington Papers)
From the concurring Accounts from Will’s-Creek, we have reason to believe, that a greater number of men is wanting than what we are able to Muster at present: it would therefore be advisable to order a Troop of Horse of your County, to hold themselves in Readiness to March at an hours warning, in case they should receive such Orders from Lord Fairfax, with whom I expect to be, as soon as the...
