MOUNT VERNON AnrilQ 17t

MOUNT VERNON, April 9, 1797. Dear Sir-Your letter of the 3lst ult.. from Culpepper county, came to my hands late at night on the 9th instant, and the enclosure for your brother Fielding was sent to him early 1 next morning.
 The melancholy occasion of your writing has filled me with inexpressble concern. The debt of nature, however sooner or later, must be paid by us all; and although the separation from our nearest relatives is heart-rending circumstance reason, religion and philosophy, teach us to bear 1t with resignation; while time alone can ame- llorate and soften the pang we experience at parting.
 It must have been consoling circumstance to my deceased sister, that so many of her friends were about her.
 find myself almost in the situation of a new beginner; so much does my houses and every thing about them stand in need of repairs.- W hat with Joiners, painters, gasiers etc. 'etc. l have scarcely room to go into at present, that IS free from one or other of them. But the in. side will soon be done though it will require a good deal of time to make good the decays which am every day discovering in the out buildings and enclosures.
 This leads me to ask if you know of a good house joiner (white or back) that could be hired by the year, or month. and what terms. want one who Is capable of making a well finished pannel-door, sash and wainscot, and who could be relied on for his sobrety and diligence. At any tme and all times, we should be very glad to see you and Mrs. Lewis at this place: and with best regards to you both, in which vour aunt joins.
 am, dear sir, your sincere friend, and
 affectionate uncle,

PHILADELPHIA. April '

PHILADELPHIA, April [, 1796. Dear Sv-TuesGay's post brought me let ter from Mir. Andrew Parks of Fredericksburo covering one from your mother; both on the subject of overtures of marriage made by the former to your cousin Harriot Washington which, it seems, depend upon my consent for consummaton.
 My sister speaks of MT. Parks as sober, dis erect man; and one who is attentive to business MT. Parks says of himself that his fortune at present does not much exceed 93,OOO, but with industry and economy he has every expectation of rapidly improving his condition," being con- cerned with his brother-in-aw, Mr. McEllerrv, of Baltimore, in mercantile business.
 As am an entire stranger to Mir. Parks, to hls family connexions, or his connexions in trade to his mode of living, his habits, and to his prospect in trade, 1 should be glad if you would ascertain them with as much precision as you can, and write me with as little delay as you can well avoid.
 Harriet having little or no fortune of her own has no right to expect great one in the man she marres-but it is desirable that she should marry gentleman, one who Is well connected and can support her -ecently, in the line she always moved; otherwise she would not find matrlmony, with lagre family and little means, so eligible as she may nave conceived It to be.
 am your sincere friend and
 allectionate uncle,
 G. WAsHINGroN ms letter will be accompanied by one to my sister, which pray you to receive from the post-oilice and send to her.
 ltmay gratify our readers, especially the fairer portion of them, to learn that Miss Harriot was united to the man of her choice They settled afterwards, we believe in Kanawha county, and son, Mir. Andrew Parks, has creditabiy served in the legislature of Virginia w.
