George Washington to Henry Lee

I have received your letter of November the 18th. covering a resolution of the legislature of Virginia of November the 14th. and a memorial of Sundry citizens of that commonwealth on the subject of their property carried away by the British, contrary, as they suppose, to the stipulations of the treaty peace. A regular channel of communication with that government being now open, I shall not fail to pay due attention to this subject.

I have the honor etc.¹
