Madam Mount Vernon, Decr 8th 1788
You may readily conceive that I felt sensible for your situation - and that were it as much in my power as it is my desire I would contribute effectually to your relief - after having said this, I need only add, that as the general possesses the same good disposition towards you, - and writes on the subject himself, it is unnecessary for me to say more than that my best wishes attend you, - and that I am madam
Your most obed servt
M Washington
