Returned to town with Abby in company. Weather cold but not unpleasant. At the Office.
Found George had received a letter and was about to start for Washington.
1 I think this a good plan. Morning read Blackstone. After dinner, some of Sir Joshua
Reynolds with an Account of his Life.
2 George came in and had some Conversation with me. He seemed very much disarranged.
As usual delay has done him no service. He might as well have gone at first. Evening,
reading, the Spectator.
