dc.description Letter, written at Mount Vernon, reports that Congress has done nothing about the officers' petition for lands on the Ohio. The Congress that will meet in November will be composed of new members, so he is unable to direct correspondence to the proper person. He endorses the justice of the petitioners' cause. He himself is endeavoring to do something about the lands he has held in "that country these 12 to 14 years." en_US
