1To George Washington from Thomas Peters, 18 November 1786 (Washington Papers)
I have the pleasure of recieving your favour of the 21 of Oct. you mention you are desireous of having procurd 50 bushls of Spring Barley. I have none by me at present, but if it can be procurd which I have no doubt of you may depend on its being sent you in time for sowing in the Spring. I should suppose 50 Bushls will be but a very small quantity if you have no Objection I will send you 100...
