From George Washington to Benjamin Chew, 25 November 1795
To Benjamin Chew
Wednesday 25th Novr 17951
Compliments and thanks to Mr Chew for the favor of perusing the enclosed letter.2 A different result, from the forebodings therein, would have been very pleasing.
AL, MdHi: Bayard Collection.
The letter is addressed, “The Honble Mr Chew”; whether the addressee was Benjamin Chew, Sr., or Jr., has not been determined.
1. “1795” is not in GW’s handwriting. The writing looks to match that of a note on the cover, which reads: “The within dated 25th Novr 1795 is from Genl Washington.”
2. The enclosure has not been identified.
