Credit Side Annotation

Line 26 - The title of François-Jean de Beauvoir, marquis de Chastellux's book is erroneously rendered in this entry as "travels in England." In August 1787, GW paid £1.10.0 in Pennsylvania currency for Chastellux's Travels in North America in the Years 1780, 1781, and 1782 (London, 1787), a translation of his two-volume Voyages de M. le Marquis de Chastellux dans l’Amérique Septentrionale Dans les Années 1780, 1781 & 1782 (Paris, 1786). Chastellux had presented GW with a copy of the latter French edition in 1786. See GW to Chastellux, 18 Aug. 1786 [Rotunda | Founders Online | Print (Confederation Series, Volume 4, pages 218-19)]; see also Philadelphia Cash Accounts, 9 May-22 Sept. 1787, and n. 34 to that document [Rotunda | Founders Online | Print (Confederation Series, Volume 5, pages 177, 180)].
