BRAAKN, Jan. Is, 1859.
Ny DEAR Sir II have the pleasure to
acknowledge the receipt Of your letter Of
goth December, and avail myself of the first
post TO express my thanks for the interesting
intelligence which it communicates. That.
which affords me the most joy is the refer
ence made to the purchase, by American
ladies, Of Mount Vernon, the domestic resi-
dence Of the immortal Father Of your great
Republic. The noble purpose OF your fair
countrywomen to rescue the hsllowed spot
upon which be passed the last days OF bis
glorious life from further dlspidation, to
preserve the unpretending old mansion from
utter ruin, and to embellish the grounds, is
as praiseworthy and creditable to the Union
Is was the lofty patriotism which distin-
guished the Spartan mothers May AL.
mighty God bless them for this work Of M.
ti0nal gratitnde-t0o long, alas delayed by
their fathers, husbands and brothers.
In my paflor is suspended an engraving
OF Mount Vernon, and in my front hall
picture Of General Washington, which
embraces Mrs. Washington and Miss Gus
tbs. My eyes love to liDger upon those me-
mentos Of other years. They wildly call to
my mind the day,-the proudest day Of my
lfe,--that passed upon the beautiful
banks of the Potomac, in the family of the
best and greatest parsonage that the world
has ever produced. 1t was in May, 1898,
now nearly sixty-oDe years ago. was
seated at bis right at dinner, and recollect
as distinctly his majestic bearing az il it
were yesterday. Though OF mortality, bis
overpoweriDg presence inspired an impress
sion that be belonged to immortality. His
stateliness, bis serene face, the perfect sim
plicity OF his manners, his modest dsmeanor,
and the words Of wisdom which he uttered,
led me irresistibly to the belief that be was
an emanation Of the Omnipotent, for the
marvellous work that he had just then con-
summated. 1t was my good fortune to
contemplate him in his retirement, after he
had lett nothing undone that be could per-
form for the republic Of bis creation, and af-
ter he had quilted Office forever. What
privilege ! enjoyed in being bis welcome
guest OF the 240,OOOOO0 of people in
Europe, imagine am the only person,
since the death of Lafayette, who was 80 fa.
vored as to break bread and take wine with
him at his own table May his pure spirit
guide your government, in all coming time,
through any difficulties in which it may
find itself encompassed May his disinter-
ested patriotism be emulated through count.
