[Diary entry: 28 January 1787]

Sunday 28th. Mercury at 26 in the Morning—36 at Noon and 32 at Night.

Wind Westerly all day, and not much unlike Snow—Grd. froze in the Morning.

Colo. Henry Lee, his Lady, Miss Lee and Mr. Fendall came here to dinner—the last of whom went away afterwards (crossing the river for Maryland).

Miss Lee is undoubtedly Mrs. Matilda Lee’s sister Flora Lee.
