From George Washington
Thursday 16th Feb. 1797.
Dear Sir,
The enclosed letter was sent to me from the Post Office with many others, & the Seal broke before I discovered the error; but I assure you upon my honor I know not a word it contains— for seeing the beginning I looked to the Subscription, and instantly closed it again. With affectionate regard I am ever Yours
