From Hannah Bushrod Washington

[1798]

My dearest Bushrod—

I have inclos'd you the 50 dollar bill which Neale paid for my Tobo—& shall thank you to pay out of it my Tax at court today— I thought that your purse was low as well as mine now is—the inclos'd being the last of my treasure— I have just paid Mr B. Lee near ten pounds for fodder bought last winter God bless you & yrs.

H. Washington

Mr Lee is in a vast hurry.
