Journal of Lieutenant William Feltman, September 5, 1781

This day marched hack again one mile in order for our men to wash their clothing and cook provisions.

Took a walk to town with a number of our gentlemen, and took a view of the town, as it is the metropolis of Virginia. There are some very elegant buildings, such as the College, Palace, Capitol or State House, in which is erected a statue of marble, the image of Lieut. Gen. Berkely, Govornor of the State of Virginia, &c.

As we passed through town Doct. Nicholson very politely asked as to walk with him to his house; we were very elegantly entertained with a good dinner, a glass of good spirits and Maderia wine.
