Here with you will receive the ingrossed Bill which was forwarded to me by Colo. Grayson for the purpose of getting printed copies taken. I hope it will get safe to your hands—that I may be satisfied of this, be so good as to inform me thereof. I am Sir &c. LB , DLC:GW . See GW to William Grayson, 22 Jan. 1785 , and note 1 . Beckley acknowledged receipt of GW’s letter on 11 February .
