George Washington Papers

[Diary entry: 15 November 1786]

Wednesday 15th. Mercury at 46 in the Morning—58 at Noon and 54 at Night.

Wind Southerly but not very fresh in the forepart of the day. About Noon it came out very powerfully at No. West and towds. Night turned cold.

Rid to Muddy hole and Dogue run Plantations. The hands at these places & the ferry at work on the public Roads.

Attempted to level to day, but the wind was too high to admit it.
