From George Washington to John Baker, 29 May 1781
New Windsor May 29th 1781
Sir,
A day or two ago I requested Colo. Harrison to apply to you for a pair of Pincers to fasten the wire of my teeth. I hope you furnished him with them—I now wish you would send me one of your scrapers, as my teeth stand in need of cleaning, and I have little prospect of being in Philadelpa Soon. It will come very safe by the Post—& in Return, the money shall be sent so soon as I know the cost of it. I am Sir Yr Very Hble Servt
