Letter text, 29 May 1772

Sir,
I hope you arrived safe at Nomony [sic], and found mrs Carter and all the family there in good health. Our best wishes attend them. Soon after you left us, I wrote a letter to mr Fauquier,[1] and send inclosed a copy of it, that you may see what I said concerning his father's affairs. What relates particularly to you, I think is the substance of what passed at our last conversation. My anxiety to be rid of this troublesome business increases daily. I am convinced you are equally desirous of it. Let us then endeavor to bring the matter to a speedy conclusion. I am, with unfeigned respect,

Sir,
Your humble servant,
G. Wythe.
Williamsburg,
29 May, 1772
