24 January 1775

GW at Mount Vernon. Doctor William Rumney “visited the Sick”--most likely slaves.  Rumney returned for dinner and stayed overnight.  Alexander Ross came only for dinner.

Thomas Johnson, a Maryland delegate to the Continental Congress, wrote GW on this day regarding a project to improve navigation along the Potomac River that interested them both.
