He also wrote that Dr. James Craik went with Lund Washington to visit James Cleveland. He hosted Col. Benjamin Harrison, Francis Whiting, and Catesby Woodford for dinner and the night.

He added that the silk sashes and shoulder knots GW had ordered for the militia company would likely be done soon.
