@The Rambling Man: Thanks for your review. Yes, I should have explained Fitzpatrick's death in relation to his works better, which I've done now. He completed the works, but all were not published at the time of his death. Re:The red link: The title, The Writings of George Washington, is sort of self explanatory and mentioned well, with links to the works that are in the public domain and can be freely down loaded and read, so a red link is not needed, imo. Besides there's not much to say about them that we can't say in the Fitzpatrick article, i.e.the works were commissioned by the US GW bicentennial commission, contain Washington's writings and were compiled and edited by Fitzpatrick and published -- however, I'll look into it further and see if there's anything else we can add about the works themselves. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 01:33, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
