GENERAL WASHINGTON WILL Rich
moud correspondent of the Norfolk Virgioan
says: MIR. Sinclair resolution providing fol
lithographing George Washiugton's will, now
on record at Fairfax Court house, pending 10
the Senate, will probably be amended 80 as to
place the matter in the hands of the Secretary
of the Commonwealth instead of private in
dividual, as provided 10 the resolution. 1t has
been suggested that it would be good idea to
have several Thousand copies of these litbo-
graphs made BY the State. the cost of which
would not be much greater than for few
COPIES, as proposed by Mr.. Sinclair, and placed
an saIe at the Centennial Exhibition for the
benefit Of the Lee Monument fund. They
would sell readily at good price, and realize
a handsome sum for an object so dear to the
hearts of all our people. 1t is worth the con-
federation Of the Senate.
