Dear Sir,

Nothing occurs to me as necessary to be added to the enclosed project.

If the Subscription is not confined to the members of the Philosophical Society I would readily add my mite to the means for encouraging Mr. Michaud's undertaking — and do authorize you to place me among, & upon a footing with the respectable sums which may be Subscribed.

I am always Yours
G Washington
