4565. LEE (Richard Henry), In Convention.—

I shall return to Virginia after the 11th of August. I wish my successor may be
certain to come before that time; in that case
I shall hope to see you and not Wythe, in convention,
that the business of Government, which
is of everlasting concern, may receive your
aid.—
To Richard Henry Lee. Washington ed. i, 204.
