Thanks for pitching in.

I read that Washington had people smuggle in hi-test hemp seeds from China, and if the people smuggling the seeds would have been caught by the Chinese, they would have been killed. Smuggled seeds under pain of death.

Know anything about that?

Looks like that link is won't work from an outside referer.
Here's the contents page : The Writings of George Washington from the Original Manuscript Sources 1745-1799
