Line 3 - In a letter of 14 Sept. 1785 to William Hartshorne, the current treasurer of the Potomac River Company, GW wrote: "Colo. Wm Fitzhugh [1721-1798] of Maryland has this day requested me, to enter his name for one share of the Potomac navigation; of which I give you this information: he has also deposited in my hands ten pounds for the first & second advances thereon; which I will pay you when I come next to town, or to your order at any time." See GW to William Hartshorne, 14 Sept. 1785 [Rotunda | Founders Online | Print (Confederation Series, Volume 3, page 248)].
