“I see no necessity at present to proceed to the removal,” he added, as if the determination were still, after all that had happened with Duddington, his to make.

Covering all his bases, L'Enfant wrote the same message to George Washington. The major may well have thought he had done things properly this time around, and no immediate censure was forthcoming, but still the president must have furrowed his broad brow. Hours before his departure for Philadelphia, L'Enfant wrote yet another message to the commissioners, asking for their support of Roberdeau, who would communicate to them the details of L'Enfant's instructions. Finally, he found Benjamin Ellicott and asked him to continue to update the plan as the smaller surveys came in and to forward the fully accurate drawing to Philadelphia the moment the platting of lots was finished. These arrangements made, L'Enfant headed north on Christmas Day.
