The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Knowing what I know about Washington's past, what I think he meant by this quote: "the office chooses the man" is the following.
For General George Washington, that quote meant that sometimes in the life of a man, he has to accept the fact that although you do not want some, your responsibility is to accept some kind of job because you are the one who has the knowledge and experience to do it right.
Maybe is difficult, maybe is tough, but only a few brave men have the talent to do it. So it is not a matter of if you like it or want it. It is that you are the one with the credentials to do it right.
And this was the case of George Washington the first President of the United States.

Explanation:
The Olive Branch Petition written by John Dickinson was drafted at a time when the colonists were seeking independence from the King. This was as a result of the sufferings they were made to undergo, stemming from the high taxes imposed on them to compensate the dwindling resources spent by the King in the war with France. They clearly wanted independence but without the consequence of war. They also were asserting loyalty to the King. This seemed like two requests that could be hardly granted at the same time.
King George III did not read the letters not to talk of granting the request for he already declared war on the colonists prior to the time when they tendered the letters.
