From George Washington to John Brown, 28 July 1778

To John Brown

Quarters White plains 28 July 1778

Sir Head

I had, a few days ago, the pleasure of receiving yours of the 9th instant. The Butt of Wine has not yet arrived, but I doubt not, when it does, that it will answer your recommendation. Permit me to return you my thanks for the generosity of your present, and to express my wishes, that Fortune may continue to be as indulgent to you as she has hitherto been. I am &c.
