What reading level is Writings of George Washington book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
TO LORD CORNWALLIS Head Quarters, before York, 18 October, 1781.
My Lord, To avoid unnecessary discussion and delays I shall at once, in answer to your Lordships letters of yesterday, declare the general basis upon which a definitive treaty and capitulation must take place.
The garrisons of York and Gloucester, including the seamen, as you propose, will be received Pris- their just proportion to the doing it. This conduct is not only injurious to the common cause, but in the end most expensive ...to themselves; besides the distrusts and jealousies, which are sown by such conduct. To expect brick without straw is idle, and yet I am called upon, with as much facility to furnish men and means for every service and every want, as if every iota required of the States had been furnished, and the whole was at my disposal; when the fact is, I am scarcely able to provide a garrison for West Point, or to feed the men that are there.
This, and ten thousand reasons, which I could assign, prove the necessity of something more than recommendatory powers in Congress.
