Your letter of the 10th of March came safe, but was rather long on its passage. I have also received the other letter refered to—dated at Mt Vernon last fall. I do not at this time recollect the date of my last letter to you, because—however agreeable it may be to me—I have little leizure for private corrispondencies being, in a manner, wearied to death by the multiplicity of public matters I...
Letter not found : from John Augustine Washington, 10 March 1780 . GW wrote Washington on 6 June–6 July 1780 acknowledging “Your letter of the 10th of March” ( DLC:GW ).
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....
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.

Your Letter of the 2d of last Month—though long on its passage—came safe to hand. There is a mistery in the proceedings of Congress respecting General Lee’s tryal which I am not able to acct for—The Sentence of the Court Martial has been hung up in that body since about the 20th of August, when it should have been approved, or disapproved, without more loss of time than was necessary to have...
In overhauling some old Papers the other day, I came across the Inclosed Letter from Colo. Cresap to me—written, as he says, in answer to one of mine on the information of his having set up a claim to some part of the Land formerly owned by our deceased Brother Lawrence, & given by him to my Brother Austin. It is essential, as I have upon other occasions mentioned to you, that this matter...
