24From George Washington to Lund Washington, 26 November 1775 (Washington Papers)
I well know where the difficulty of accomplishing these things will lie. Overseers are already engaged (upon shares) to look after my business. Remote advantages to me, however manifest and beneficial, are nothing to them; and to engage standing Wages, when I do not know that any thing I have, or can raise, will command Cash, is attended with hazard; for which reason I hardly know what more to...

31From George Washington to Lund Washington, 10 May 1776 (Washington Papers)
As I am not able to form any Idea of the time of my return, and as it is very reasonable and just that Mr Custis should be possessed of his Estate, although it is not in my power (circumstanced as I am at present) to Liquidate the Accounts and make a final settlement with him, I have wrote to the Clerk of the Secretary’s Office for Authentic Copies of the last Accounts which I exhibited...
32From George Washington to Lund Washington, 19 August 1776 (Washington Papers)
Very unexpectedly to me, another revolving Monday is arrived before an Attack upon this City, or a movement of the Enemy—the reason of this is incomprehensible, to me—True it is (from some late informations) they expect another arrival of about 5000 Hessians; but then, they have been stronger than the Army under my Command; which will now, I expect, gain strength faster than theirs, as the...

34From George Washington to Lund Washington, 30 September 1776 (Washington Papers)
Your letter of the 18th, which is the only one received and unanswered, now lies before me. The amazement which you seem to be in at the unaccountable measures which have been adopted by —— would be a good deal increased if I had time to unfold the whole system of their management since this time twelve months. I do not know how to account for the unfortunate steps which have been taken but...
35From George Washington to Lund Washington, 6 October 1776 (Washington Papers)
Your Letter of the 25th Ulto has reached my hands since the date of my last about this day Week. nothing material has happened since that time—We are strengthning ourselves in this Post, as the Enemy also are in theirs. They have moved some of their Ships up the North River opposite to their own Lines, & a little below ours; whether with a view to cover their own Flanks, or at a proper time to...
36From George Washington to Lund Washington, 10–17 December 1776 (Washington Papers)
Hurried as I am and distressed by a number of perplexing circumstances I will write you a few Lines in acknowledgment of yr Letters of the 20th & 26th Ulto. I wish to Heaven it was in my power to give you a more favourable Acct of our situation than it is—our numbers, quite inadequate to the task of opposing that part of the Army under the Command of Genl Howe, being reduced by Sickness,...

40From George Washington to Lund Washington, 28 February 1778 (Washington Papers)
If you should happen to draw a prize in the militia , I must provide a man, either there or here, in your room; as nothing but your having the charge of my business, and the entire confidence I repose in you, could make me tolerable easy from home for such a length of time as I have been, and am likely to be. This therefore leads me to say, that I hope no motive, however powerful, will induce...

Your Letter of the 29th Ulto, Inclosing a line from Captn Marshall to you came to my hands yesterday—I have no reason to doubt the truth of your observation, that this Gentleman’s Land, & others equally well situated, & under like circumstances, will sell very high —The depreciation of our money—the high prices of every article of produce, & the redundancy of circulating paper, will, I am...

Since my last from Elizabeth town, I have arrived at these my Quarters for the Winter; and have received your Letters of the 25th of last month and 2d of this; and have also heard of Mrs Washingtons safe arrival at Philadelphia.

48From George Washington to Lund Washington, 18 December 1778 (Washington Papers)
Your Letter of the 9th Instt came to my hands this day after I had dispatched a long letter to you by Colo. Harrison —The quantity of Land mentioned therein, as appears by my plats, is I dare say, the exact number of Acres held by Marshall; for more than which he ought not to expect payment—The three small quantities which serve to compose the agregate 480½ are (I presume) those which lye on...
49From George Washington to Lund Washington, 24-26 February 1779 (Washington Papers)
I wrote to you by the last post, but in so hasty a manner as not to be so full and clear as the importance of the subject might require. In truth, I find myself at a loss to do it to my own satisfaction in this hour of more leisure & thought, because it is a matter of much importance and requires a good deal of judgment & foresight to time things in such a way, as to answer the purposes I have...
50From George Washington to Lund Washington, 3 April 1779 (Washington Papers)
Your letter of the 24th Ulto reached me yesterday—all that Frazer says about the Clarett are in the following words “As Captn Sanford passes by your house, I have sent you a Hhd of the best Bordeaux Claret in bottles, I hope it will come safe to hand.” Whether under the circumstances to write to him for the acct of cost, & direction to whom to pay the amount; or to remit him something of equal...
