George Washington Papers

[Diary entry: 6 October 1786]

Friday 6th. Mercury at 62 in the morning—60 at Noon and 57 at Night.

Morning clear, except scattering clouds—Winds high from the westward.

In the afternoon (having first dined) rid with my Brother to Mr. Lund Washington’s and returned. Found the waters had been exceeding high.
