Martha Washington

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. If it shall be the writer's good fortune to give to readers of to-day a satisfactory picture of Mrs. Washington as she appeared in her own home, and in the oficial' life that claimed so much of her time, she will feel that the many hours passed in research and inquiry have not been spent in vain.
