Saturday 18th. Thermometer at 45 in the Morning—56 at Noon and 50 at Night.
The morning lowered—cleard at Noon and about two it rained a little; with appearances of a good deal, at first—however it soon ceased, though it continued cloudy till night, when the Wind, which had blowed pretty fresh from the Southward all day, shifted to the No. West.
Began the yards back of the Green house designed for the Jack Ass & Magnolia.
The Bitch Stately was lined by the Dog Vulcan. Jupiter had been put to her and Venus but never seemed to take the least notice of them but whether he ever lined either of them is not certain. The contrary is supposed.
Rid to the Plantation in the Neck and returned home by Muddy hole and visited the sick men there whom I found better.
Took a list to day of all my Negroes which are as follows at Mount Vernon and the plantations around it—viz.—
