From George Washington (unpublished)
Head Quarters Newburg 20. Novemr. 1782
Sir

The Credentials with which Mr. Wheelock is furnished are so ample and so fully set forth the benevolent purposes of the Institution over which he presides, that I am confident nothing more is necessary for me, than barely to introduce him to you and to recommend him to your patronage and Freindship. Under them he will be sure to meet with a favorable reception among the Wise and Good.

I have the honor to be with profound Respect Sir Your most obedient Servant

Doct. Franklin.
His Excellency Dr Franklin 21st Novr. 1782 recommending Mr. Wheelock
