Note 119 — b. An Association against the Stamp Act in a Virginia County, 1766
Reading edition
George Washington and George Mason (as their preserved letters show) had been in correspondence regarding such a non-importation agreement for some weeks. Mason drew the resolutions; Washington was to have presented them to the Assembly. Now he did so (in person or by deputy) to the informal meeting at Mr. Hay's. See Washington's Writings, first edition, II, 263; and Mason's Life and Correspondence, I, 136 ff.
