to washington

August 10, 1796.

Sir:

About a fortnight ago I sent you a certain draft. I now send you another on the plan of incorporation. Whichever you may prefer, if there be any part you wish to transfer from one to another, any part to be changed, or if there be any material idea in your own draft which has happened to be omitted, and which you wish introduced, in short, if there be any thing further in the matter in which I can be of any (service), I will, with great pleasure, obey your commands.2

[2]Reprinted from the History of the Republic, vi., 523. This letter, and those which follow, all relate to the preparation of the farewell address which was published September 17, 1796.
