Sir,
Some short Time since Col.

GW wrote Hazard from Mount Vernon on 22 July: “Sir, The letters with which you favored me—dated the 24th of June and 14th instant—together with the packet and parcel which respectively accompanied them, came safe in due course of Post. For your attention & trouble in forwarding of them I beg you will accept the thanks of Sir Your most Obedt Hble Ser⟨vt⟩ Go: Washington” (ALS, PHi: Hazard Family Papers). The parcel from George Morgan was a packet of wheat for GW to plant. See Morgan to GW, 31 July, and GW to Morgan, 25 August.
