George Washington Autograph Letter Signed as President
Autograph letter signed, "Go:Washington," three pages, 7.5" x 9", Philadelphia, March 21, 1796, to Tobias Lear instructing him on how to dispose of a building lot he owns in Alexandria. He writes in part: "...A Mr. Summers of Alexandria is very desirous of purchasing my vacant lot in that town, - and having been told that nothing short of a high price would induce me to sell it, makes the offer contained in the enclosed letter - Whether this offer is high, or otherwise, depends upon comparison, the means of doing which is not within my reach, but through the medium of another; & therefore I give you the trouble of making one inquiry into the matter at any time when you are in Alexandria. - I have no wish to part with the lot unless I can do it upon advantageous terms; and can dispose of the money in a more productive manner. - I had thought of building on it, but this would be attended with trouble, and perhaps a good deal of imposition... And besides, workmens' wages, and materials are very high at this time. A thought has run through my mind (since I began this letter) whether, as I have a prospect, from the high price of four, of raising five or six thousand dollars from the sales of it; it might not be eligible with that sum, and the sale of the vacant lot (to Summers) to make the purchase suggested in one of your former letters to me? -- if that property is in an eligible place (and I wish to know where it lies) or whether or not, if it would bring ten percent on the purchase money it would certainly be more immediately advantageous to me that to let a part of the sum, necessary to command it, lay dead in a vacant lot; which, when built on, would only be to let... As the Post hour is at hand, & I have many letters to close, and prepare for the mail that I hardly know what I have written, or whether you will be able, fully, to comprehend my meaning..." We are not quite certain either. Washington, like many of his contemporarie

George Washington Revolutionary War Letter Approving an Expedition against the Seneca Indians, 1779
A very fine content letter to Colonel Daniel Brodhead (1736-1809), who commanded the American garrison at Fort Pitt (present-day Pittsburgh), in which he approves of Brodhead's expedition against the Senecas in a manuscript letter signed, one page, 19.25" x 13.75", New Windsor, July 13, 1779. Washington writes Brodhead in full: Yours of the 25th of June was delivered [to] me yesterday. I inclose you a duplicate of mine of the 23d which gave my consent to an expedition against the Mingoes. I am glad to hear you had received a supply of provisions and only waited my concurrence to make an expedition against the Senecas. I hope by this time you are carrying it into execution. I have more than once applied to the Board of War to supply you with some articles to reward the Indians - I shall renew my solicitations. I approve the sentence against Straffain. He appears to merit the punishment. But I leave its execution or remission to your discretion. If the circumstances of the of the Garrison require an example, let it be made. You will please to determine yourself in the other cases; and for the future, it will be unnecessary to send me any proceedings, but where the sentences affect life, or the decommission of an officer - All others you will decide yourself - I am D Sir Your most Obed Svt. G: Washington. P.S. It may be well for you to endeavour to open a correspondence with General Sullivan that you movements if possible may be serviceable to each other." The body of the letter is written in the hand of Washington's Aide-de-camp, Alexander Hamilton. Broadhead's expedition departed Pittsburgh on August 11, 1779, marched up the Allegheny River and burned several Seneca towns in their wake. They left Pittsburgh on August 11, 1779 in a campaign against the Allegheny Seneca, traveled four hundred miles, destroyed one hundred and thirty five Indian houses, and laid waste to vast fields and orch
