30 January 1775

GW at Mount Vernon. He rode out “to see the Sick People”--presumably among his slaves--and returned “by Muddy hole,” one of his Mount Vernon farms.  GW dined that evening with Normand Bruce, who apparently pitched a scheme to manufacture coarse cloth from hemp rather than flax.

GW described the weather as “clear & very pleasant.”
