DEAR SIR:

I am in sentiment with you and the Director of the Mint, respecting the

purchase of the lots and houses which are offered for sale, in preference

to renting—as the latter will certainly exceed the interest of the former.

That all the applications may be brought to view, and considered for

coining, &c., Mr. Lear will lay the letters and engravings before you, to

be shewn to the Director of the Mint. I have no other object or wish in

doing it, than to obtain the best.

Yours, &c.,

Go. WASHINGTON.
