NOTES.
(_a_) This tract, for the size of it, is valuable, more for its
situation than the quality of its soil; though that is good for farming,
with a considerable proportion of ground that might very easily be
improved into meadow. It lies on the great road from the city of
Washington, Alexandria, and Georgetown, to Leesburgh and Winchester, at
Difficult Bridge, nineteen miles from Alexandria, less from the city of
George
