From George Washington to Elias Boudinot, 8 January 1783
Newburgh 8th Jany 1783
Dear Sir,
Inclosed your Excellency will receive Ninety five dollars in Bank Notes; which, if my Subscription towards the support of the Revd Mr Caldwells children was only Twenty Guineas, is about the Sum. As the Bank Notes, I presume, are considered (in Philadelphia at least) as ready money I have adopted this expedient as the easiest and safest mode of making you the remittance and have the honor to be with great respect & regard Yr Excellency’s Most Obedt & Most Hble Servt
Go: Washington
