Line 6 - In his letter to GW of 20 Nov. 1786, which has not been found, but which GW acknowledged on 24 Nov., John Francis Mercer enclosed "2 half Joes, & 7 guineas," which was a partial repayment for the 15 guineas GW had lent him on 16 October (see Ledger B, 221). GW must have lent Mercer the money soon before Mercer and his family set off for Annapolis, Md., on 16 Oct., after having spent the night at Mount Vernon. See GW to John Francis Mercer, 24 Nov. 1786, and n.4 to that document [Rotunda | Founders Online | Print (Confederation Series, Volume 4, pages 393-95).
