From Mount Vernon, GW wrote his Pa. land agent John Cannon to give instructions in regards to collecting rent payments. GW lamented his recent expenditures on his mill in Fayette County, and instructed Canon to search for someone to repair the mill in return for a share of the profits.

GW also wrote James Madison, thanking him for his updates from Baltimore and Philadelphia. He added that, after numerous disasters, Congressman Theodorick Bland was on his way to N.Y. to attend the first session of Congress.
