George Washington Partial Autograph Letter. Two fragments of one page, each 7" x 3" (sight), New Windsor, [New York]; [circa 1782 to 1783]. The remnants of a letter partially destroyed in a fire.

The letter appears to revolve around the management of his estate, Mount Vernon, which he was forced to do by letter during the course of the war. It reads in part: "The multiplicity of...business occasioned by the embarrassed...of our affairs – alone sufficient to...attention & time of any one man...It may be in your power there...reservations to desire and from a...course of sentiment with him on this...With great esteem & regard I am Dr. Sir Yr. affect.
