[Footnote 82: This survey has a cross drawn over its face and the

following words added after the date: this Car^d to F^o 82. It is

probable that some error had discovered itself when an attempt

was made to draw a plat by the metes and bounds as given. As this

illustrates Washington's careful attention to details, it is given

just as he left it.]
