On This Day 250 Years Ago
March 9, 1775
Washington spends the day at Mount Vernon, hosting two guests. George Mason sends Washington cherry grafts he had requested, though Mason worries they might be too advanced for planting. “I send You the Cherry Graffs You desire, but am afraid they are rather too forward: the bundle wth the white stick in it is May-Dukes; the other the large black May Cherrys.”
