Mount Vernon, April 4, 1791. Gentlemen,
As the public service may require that communications should be made to
me, during my absence from the seat of government, by the most direct
conveyances, and as, in the event of any very extraordinary occurrence,
it will be necessary to know at what time I may be found in any
particular place, I have to inform you, that unless the progress of my
journey to Savannah is retarded by unforeseen interruptions, it will be
regulated (including days of halt) in the following manner. I shall be,
On the 8th of April, at Fredericksburg,
"11th" Richmond,
"14th" Petersburg,
"16th" Halifax,
"18th" Tarborough,
"20th" Newbern, '
"24th" Wilmington,
"29th" Georgetown, South Carolina,
On the 2nd of May, at Charleston, halting five days,
"11th" Savannah, halting two days.
Thence, leaving the line of the mail, I shall proceed to Augusta, and
according to the information which I may receive there, my return, by
an upper road, will be regulated.
