George Washington Papers

[Diary entry: 21 February 1772]

21. Calm, clear, and very warm in the forenoon. But Cloudy a little in the Afternoon & Wind Easterly.

Jonathan Boucher today wrote GW from Maryland and began with an observation about the weather: “I congratulate You, & the World with Us, on our Restoration to a temperate Zone; for, in Truth, We have had a kind of a Greenland Winter” (DLC:GW).
