2Cary’s letter of 12 Sept. 1771 conveyed by Capt. John Montgomerie has not been found. The millstones are included in Cary’s invoice of 3 Dec. 1771, and the ship bringing them, the Trimley, James Page master, had just entered the Potomac (see Diaries description begins Donald Jackson and Dorothy Twohig, eds. The Diaries of George Washington. 6 vols. Charlottesville, Va., 1976–79. description ends , 3:90). Walker is probably Capt. James Walker.
