In 1783, General George Washington wrote this letter to Annis Boudinot Stockton, widow of New Jersey politician Richard Stockton who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Both Washington and "Mrs. Stockton" corresponded over the years, which included her sending him poems as well as letters.

This is number 20, and is signed by Peter von Lehmden, of Oak Park, Illinois, who designed the linocut of George Washington featured in the front.
