Dear Sir Mount Vernon, April 20: 1800
Mrs. Washington has received your obliging letter of the 5th instant together with the Articles therein mentioned; and requests me to offer her best thanks for your attention to her small commissions. - She also begs you will be so good as to direct Mr. Fenton to make her two pair of black velvet shoes, which you will be so kind as to forward by the first convenient opportunity. As the interest due on the General's public stock, at the time of his death, 1 as well as what have have accrued since belongs to Mrs. Washington, she will thank you to let her know the amount, and also whether the power you now have will enable you to draw it, or whether another shall be furnished, as she wishes payment to be made from this fund for such articles as she may get from Philadelphia. Mrs. Washington requests Mrs. Biddle & yourself to accept her best wishes
I am Dear Sir, very respectfully yr. mo. ob. Ser. Tobias Lear
