From George Washington to William Livingston, 15 January 1780
To William Livingston
Morristown Jany 15th 1780
Dr Sir
I sincerely regret that any circumstances should render1 it necessary for you to make use of Mr Parson’s house instead of Perseppeny.2 If you think a guard would give you security in your own dwelling,3 I shall be happy to furnish you with one,4 and am Dr Sir &.
Df, in James McHenry’s writing, DLC:GW; Varick transcript, DLC:GW.
