Alexandria. This is
a small Village of about five houses. All Planters except Knox and Bayley, who
keep a store. (What they call stores in this country are Shops in England.) In
the afternoon drank Tea with Captn. Knox and Mr. Wallace (Knox and Bayley's
Clerk) at Colonel Harrison's. Captn. Knox introduced me to every house in the
Village. The people are remarkably civil and obliging, appear to live very
well, and exceedingly happy.
