Your last letter, in addition to the statement made me by Geo. Washington, will induce me to dismiss Bushrods Suit against you, & to take the provision made by his fathers will in discharge of the Sum which Colo. Washington recd as his guardian from the Executors of Genl Washington. I shall do this, not because I am at all clear that the provision is equal to his claim, but because I wish to settle his affairs as speedily as possible, and the difference, if any, against him, cannot I presume be considerable.

     Bushrod will converse with his mother respecting the residue of his Suit, which I hope they may Settle. It is essential to his intended sale of Laurel grove that he should have the title papers to enable him to survey it. He calls upon you for them as also for Genl Spotswood's letters to his father previous to his marriage. I am Sir respectfully yr mo. ob. Servt
