Wythe to Bushrod Washington, 3 December 1785

Letter text

Permit me, sir, to remind you of a promisory note to pay me some tobacco, (250 lbs if i remember rightly, for i have not the note by me) which you received six or seven years ago from mr. Cabell. a student at college at the same time with you, delivered to mr Madison some tobacco, i believe a hogshead, to be divided between mr Madison and me. i desired him to retain the whol upon his consenting that i might receive what you should be indebted to him. i mentioned both these subjects to you, several times, by letters, to which satisfactory answers have not come to my hands. i am,

sir,

your humble servant
G. Wythe
Richmond 3 dec. 1787
