4From George Washington to Tobias Lear, 31 March 1799 (Washington Papers)
If perchance you should happen to see Mr. Blagden before you leave the City, be so good as to get from him a statement of the preparations for my buildings therein.

10From George Washington to William Washington, 31 March 1799 (Washington Papers)
By a letter which I have just received from General Pinckney, I find you may be shortly expected in this State, on your way to Princeton.
