Couldn't write to Washington before with information on his rents, tenants, etc. until High Sheriff of the county handed over rental money--they are enclosed herewith--breeding horses and mules--mentions Washington's lots in Winchester and Bath, and suggests exchange of one of Washington's lots on Potomac for one held by a tenant on the Bullskin in Berkeley--should buy out life leases there from tenant John Dimmett--Lewis fears he might lose land Washington gave him in Stafford because of no clear title.
