Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Writings of George Washington, Vol. 2 of 12: Being His Correspondence, Addresses, Messages, and Other Papers, Official and Private; Selected and Published From the Original Manuscripts; With a Life of the Author, Notes and Illustrations After he resigned his commission in the army, and retired to his plantation at Mount Vernon, he devoted himself for fifteen years almost exclusively to his private affairs. He was usually a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses, but few traces remain of his public acts in that body. A list of the voters at his several elections, denoting the persons for whom they voted, has been preserved, from which it appears, that he was uniformly chosen by a large majority over all his competitors.
