2From George Washington to John Augustine Washington, 16 January 1783 (Washington Papers)
Since the letter which Bushrod delivered me in Philadelphia, I have received your favors of the 24th of July from Westmoreland—and 12th of Novr from Berkley. The latter gave me extreme pain—In Gods name how did my Brothr Saml contrive to get himself so enormously in debt? Was it by purchases? By misfortunes? or shear indolence & inattention to business? From whatever cause it proceeded, the...
3From George Washington to John Augustine Washington, 15 July 1781 (Washington Papers)
A letter to which the inclosed is an answer, was accompanied by one from you—the load of business, & constant hurry which attends me, obliges me to have recourse to shifts to avoid writing, & to husband time. to this you are to ascribe the expedient of sending the Letter of Colo. Lee under a flying seal to you, as it will answer the end of a seperate communication of the same sentiments. I...

A day or two before I left Middle Brook I received a letter from you dated in Williamsburg (at what time I do not now recollect as the letter is with my baggage). The hurried state I was then, and ever since have been in, prevented my acknowledging it sooner; and to tell you three weeks after the event has happened, that the Enemy moved up the North River in force, is a little out of season....
7From George Washington to John Augustine Washington, 12 May 1779 (Washington Papers)
Three of your Letters are before me, and I believe unacknowledged, the first is of decr 12th—the 2d March 31st (by Mr Muse)—& the other of the 19th Ulto by Coll Bull, who I find by the address of your Letter is a General, & must be of the self created Order.
