To Lawrence Lewis
Mt. Vernon Jany 28th 1822
Dear Sir
Above is a check for $90 for the 30 bbs Corn for Bushrod.
Agreable to your request I spoke to Mr Herbert respecting the value of the house in Alexa. which he promised to attend to. But I consider this to be unnecessary, as I shall be perfectly satisfied with any contract you may make respecting, well knowing that in the barter you contemplate, you will get it off on the best terms for the estate which you can. I am my Dear Sir very sincerely & affectly yrs
Bush. Washington
