George Mason to Robert Carter (October 27, 1781)

Gunston-Hall, Octor. 27th. 1781.
DEAR SIR,
The Bearer Capt. Cleon Moore, a Neighbour & particular Friend of mine, waits on you to rent some of your Lands in Prince William County. As I thought it probable that the Abuses too frequent among Tenants might make you cautious of renting Lands to a Stranger, I take the Liberty of introducing Capt. Moore to you, as a Gentlemen whose Integrity & Punctuallity, in whatever Contract he makes with you, I think may be relyed on; and one to whom I would most readily rent Lands myself; if I had any which suited him.
I congratulate you on the late signal Success of our Arms; which there is Reason to hope will lay the Foundation of a safe & lasting peace.
I beg my Compliments to your Lady & Family, and am, Dr. Sir, Your most obdt. Servt.
G MASON
