the arms OF my Scotch nurse to see the
General, and was told that the stately
gentleman on horseback was General
George Washington, for wdom had been
named. And ! knew, even then, it was
something to have seen Gen. W ashington.
Next day, was walking again with my
nurse, when she suddenly caught sight Of
the General entering shop Clutcaing
my hand tiggtly, she hurried into the shop
and caught him by the sleeve, crying,
General General here's bairin that 5
