THE PRESIDENT INQUIRES ABOUT OAT SEEDS FOR MOUNT VERNON
A continuing effort on Washington's part to find good seed oats for his plantation: "I thank you for keeping in mind my request concerning Oats - For seed I want them. The purchase depends upon three things - yea four. 1 the quality. - 2 the time they could be delivered in this City. and 3 the certainty of a passage to the Potomac. - 4. not having heard yet from my manager, how much he requires, I can not be precise myself as to the quantity. All therefore I would further request of you, at this time, is to continue your enquiries, where I could be supplied, if and under these uncertainties I should, hereafter, ask your assistance in procuring them. Yours affectionately..." Not in Writings, ed. J.C. Fitzpatrick.
