From George Washington to Clement Biddle, 4 August 1784
To Clement Biddle
Mount Vernon 4th August 1784
Dear Sir,
Since my last to you, I have obtained from Baltimore (by means of Colo. Tilghman) a House-Joiner—and as the season for working in mortar will soon be over; & that of intermitants is approaching—I pray you to decline purchasing either the Joiner or Bricklayer formerly requested.1 I am Dr Sir &c.
