This day the Ship
came up. Captn. Knox and I hired a Boat to carry us to Nanjemoy on Potowmeck
River, about 60 Miles from Alexandria, which place I intend to go to as soon as
possible. Went up to Deep Creek and got our Baggage on Board the Boat. Parted
with Messrs. Baldwin, who are bound to Norfolk in Virginia. Got down to
Urbanna, but so late at Night obliged to sleep in the Boat all night.
