From George Washington to John Marshall, 27 March 1789

To John Marshall

Mount Vernon Mar. 27th 178⟨9⟩

Sir,

I have reasons for wishing that the enclosed letter could be conveyed with safety and expedition; but no opportunity offering from these parts, I take the liberty of committing it to your care on a supposition that the intercours⟨e⟩ between Richmond & the Western District will soon furnish one.1 With very great esteem & regard I am—Dear Sir Yr Most Obedt Hble Servt

Go: Washington

ALS, University of Glasgow, Scotland.

1. The enclosure was probably GW’s letter to Thomas Marshall, 27 Mar. 1789.
