8992. WASHINGTON (City), Plans of.

—I shall send you * * * two dozen plans
of the city of Washington, which you are desired
to display, not for sale, but for public inspection,
wherever they may be most seen by
those descriptions of people worthy and likely
to be attracted to it, dividing the plans among
the cities of London and Edinburgh chiefly,
but sending them also to Glasgow, Bristol, and
Dublin.—
To Thomas Pinckney. Washington ed. iii, 500.
