George Washington Papers

[Diary entry: 20 January 1785]

Thursday 20th. Mercury at 40 in the Morning—42 at Noon and 45 at Night.

Wind at No. Et.—day raw—lowering—damp & disagreeable.

Mr. Watson and Mr. Swift went away after breakfast. I continued my employment of yesterday—arranging the Walk &ca.

Began to grub & clear the under growth in my Pine Grove on the margin of Hell hole.
