You are hereby ordered to remain in this town until further Orders: when you are to receive and pass receipts for all the good Recruits which are brought to town. So soon as any Recruits come in, you are to review them; and if you find any that do not answer the instructions, you are immediately to discharge them.

32From George Washington to Robert Stewart, 27 April 1763 (Washington Papers)
Your Letters of the 18th Jany & 2d of Mar. came to my hands at the sametime about the 10th Instt. I knew of no ship then on the point of Sailing for any part of Great Britain, and therefore have been unavoidably silent till now; indeed I coud have given but a very unsatisfactory answer before this. I participated in the pleasing prospect which seemed to flatter your wishes about the time of...

With some difficulty I have at last procured the Inclosed which you will please to make use of as occasion may require.

36From George Washington to Robert Stewart, 2 June 1756 (Washington Papers)
I received yours, and observe the contents: The Bearer added, that seven other Indians were seen. This I gave no credit to, as it was not certified in the Letter. The Assembly have resolved that their Troops shall not march out of the Colony: whether this is binding on the whole, or only the Draughts, I know not; therefore I would not advise your going into Maryland, unless it be to procure...
