Letter, Bushrod Washington to Dear Sir Box 51, Folder 1825.07.19

A.L.S. 2 pages. Mount Vernon. Bushrod reports that he commenced cleaning the ditch in his large meadow but after riding to the meadow he found all hands would be required to take care of the hay which he plans to finish during the week. He thanks his neighbor for his offer to do the ditch but thinks he has the power to do it with his own help. He plans to invest some money and wants to purchase a share in the Dismal Swamp, if the sum is too large he would like to buy the share on partnership, however, he prefers to do so alone. He says he will communicate his neighbor's hints to Bushrod Jr. about the road which he is sorry to hear has been so much neglected.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
