TOBIAS LEAR TO WILLIAM AUGUSTINE WASHINGTON.
Mount Vernon, Dec. 15, 1799. Dear Sir:
I have the painful task of communicating to you information of the death of your much revered Uncle, General Washington. He died last evening about 11 o’clock, after a severe illness of about 20 hours. His complaint was an inflammatory sore throat, commonly called the Quincy.—Every aid that medicine could give, was had; but without effect. Dr. Craik & Dr. Dick of Alexa. & Dr. Brown of Port Tobacco were here.—He died as he lived.—Fortitude in extreme pain & composure at his latest breath never left him, & he retained his reason to the last moment. You are appointed one of his Executors in conjunction with Messr. Bushrod Washington, George S. Washington, Saml. Washington, Lawrence Lewis & G. W. P. Custis.
The Body will be deposited in the Vault on Wednesday or Thursday next.
With great respect, I am Dear Sir
Your most obed. Servt.Tobias Lear.
