20 January 1775

GW at Mount Vernon all day. His stepdaughter-in-law’s sister, Elizabeth “Betsey” Calvert, returned home after a rather lengthy visit.

GW wrote Lord Stirling about cash and lots won in Stirling’s Delaware lottery. Stirling held this lottery to solve his financial problems, but it instead lost him more money. GW never received his winnings.
