From George Washington to Jonathan Boucher, 13 July 1769

To Jonathan Boucher

Mount Vernon, July 13th 1769

Revd Sir,

As we have fixed upon the 27th Instt for our departure to the Frederick Springs, & Mrs Washington is desirous of seeing her Son before she leaves home, I am now to request the favour of you to permit him to come up for that purpose so soon as this Letter gets to hand (by Mr Stedlar, which I am told will be eight days after date).1

Nothing new in this part of the Country worth a recital, and therefore I have only to add the Compls. of Mrs Washington and my own to yourself & Miss Boucher, and our Loves to Jacky. I am Revd Sir Yr Most Hble Servt

Go: Washington
