Washington Letter Shows Washington Lobbying for Virginia Traders
A 1768 Washington letter urging Blair to press General Gage to preserve Cumberland to Pittsburgh supply posts for Virginia merchants surfaces in the William L. Clements library. The letter aimed to keep a trading route open as British boundary plans favored Indian territory, but a 1768 Board of Trade report and Fort Stanwix treaty ultimately closed the route. Blair forwarded the letter to Gage, who replied the virginian route would stay open.
