Line 9 - According to GW's diary he and the directors of the Potomac River Company met in Georgetown, Md., on 22 Oct. 1787. The expenses to which he refers in this entry may have included both his meal at John Suter's tavern (at Georgetown), where he "Dined" that day, as well as his journey back to Mount Vernon, which included an overnight stop at Abingdon (Custis plantation on the Potomac River). GW was back at Mount Vernon on 23 October. See Diaries, 5:205-6 [Rotunda | Founders Online].
