23. Dined with Mr. Loyd Dulany & Spent the Evening at the Coffee Ho[use].

Lloyd Dulany (1742–1782), son of Daniel Dulany the elder and his third wife, Henrietta Maria Dulany, had recently returned to Annapolis after studying law at the Inns of Court in London. About this time he built a handsome brick house on Conduit Street that reportedly cost him £10,000 (LAND description begins Aubrey C. Land.

The Coffeehouse, a popular tavern run by a Mrs. Howard, was on Main (now Church) Street near the State House (Md. Gaz., 12 Sept. 177; RILEY [2] description begins Elihu S. Riley. Riley’s Historic Map of Annapolis. Annapolis, 1909. description ends ).
