“…I met a very favourable reception from Lady Washington-I spent an entire day with her-She is a very sensible Lady, rather elderly, has four Grand-Children in her house one little Boy and three girls-She pressed me a good deal to stay at her house, till the General wou’d return. I forgot to tell you that the General went to Richmond a few days before we reached Alexandria-His return is expected in less than a fortnight….”
