Line 9 - On 27 Feb. 1786, GW asked William Hunter, Jr., an Alexandria merchant, to deliver 20 guineas and 16 dollars to English portrait painter Robert Edge Pine (1730-1788), who, the previous spring, had gone to Mount Vernon to paint portraits of GW, Martha Washington, the four Custis grandchildren, and of Frances ("Fanny") Bassett. The 20 guineas were to go towards the cost of the portaits, and the rest of the amount was to be used to pay for the frames. GW had initially asked John Francis Mercer to remit the payment to Pine, since Mercer owed GW money, but, not having received a reply from Mercer, GW then charged Hunter with carrying the money to Pine. See Robert Edge Pine to GW, 16 Dec. 1785 [Rotunda | Founders Online | Print (Confederation Series, Volume 3, pages 460-61)]; GW to John Francis Mercer, 30 Jan. 1786 [Rotunda | Founders Online | Print (Confederation Series, Volume 3, page 526)]; GW to Pine, 26 Feb. 1786 [Rotunda | Founders Online | Print (Confederation Series, Volume 3, pages 573-74)]; GW to William Hunter, Jr., 27 Feb. 1786 [Rotunda | Founders Online | Print (Confederation Series, Volume 3, pages 575-76)]; and GW to John Francis Mercer, 6 March 1786 [Rotunda | Founders Online | Print (Confederation Series, Volume 3, page 584)]
In his cash accounts, GW had also noted the following in an entry for 27 Jan. 1786: "By R: Pyne, Pd him the 19th May 1785 Omitted to be charg’d" £28 (see Ledger B, 207, and the annotation there).
