1774.
That both he and his wife had made
an accurate forecast of probable events
and the cost of a separation from the
mother country is shown in a letter
written by Mrs. Washington to a friend
on the eve of her husbands departure.
Pendleton has left on record that she

said to him: "I hope you will stand
firm. knows George will" And he adds
in a letter from which this is an extract:
1.-THE dear little woman was busy
from morning until night with domestic
duties, but she gave us much time in
conversation n afforded as entertain
ment. When we set off in the morning,
she stood in the door and cheered us
with the good words, God be with you,
gentlemen"
Thus sent on his way with a god
speed from his noble helpmeet, WASH
ington Journeyed on to Philadelphia
with his colleagues to assist at the de-
liberations of the congress, his first pub
lie and prominent appearance to the
people at large since his participation
in the Indian wars. The Virginia del
egates arrived at their destination on
the 4th of September, the day before the
assembling Of the congress at Carpen-
ter's hall, and assisted in passing those
famous state papers which have pre-
served the amt Of their authors to
posterity. Washington's name does not
appear prominently in this connection,
because, probably, he was less fitted for
debate than for hard work in committee
and conference. But we have the testi-
mony Of his friend Patrick Henry that
'for solid information and sound iudg-
ment Colonel Washington was unques-
tionably the greatest man on the floor"
He was no orator. He could not, like
his great colleague, move the hearts of
men by appealing to their passions. 1t
is related that, shortly after his mar
riage, when the speaker of the house of
burgesses publicly thanked him for his
inestimable services on the frontier he
was SO confused when he rose to reply
that he could hardly speak a word, but
stood, stammering and blushing, until
the speaker said: "Sit down, Colonel
Washington. Your modesty equals your
valor, and that surpasses the power of
any language I possess"
The delegates at Philadelphia per-
formed what they came for:
"To consider the most proper and eff
fectual manner of SO cooperating upon
the commercial relations of the colonies
with the mother country as to procure
redress for the much injured province
OF Massachusetts Bay; to secure British
America from the ravages and ruin of
arbitrary taxes and speedily to procure

that harmony and union so beneicent
to the whole empire and so ardently de-
sired by all British America"
They then went home in October,
nearly all Of them bearing in their
hearts the conviction voiced by Henry:
"We must fight. An appeal to arms
and to the God Of hosts is all that is
left US" And this sentiment was echoed
throughout the country: "We must
fight. We must now prepare for the in
evitable struggle against British force
and tyranny" With Patrick Henry,
also, Washington could have exclaimed,
~ am no longer a Virginian, but an
Americana
Returning to Mount Vernon, Wash
ington was henceforth constantly EN-.
ployed in consultation with the officers
Of the state and in drilling troops which
were being raised in anticipation Of
coming conflict. His new associates
were men of q different stamp from
those with whom he had formerly con
sorted-sturdy yeomen and patriotic
countrymen instead Of royalist officials
and aristocratic proprietors. 1t was ex-
pected that he would assume command
of Virginia's contingent, but his stay at
home vas short, as he was chosen a
delegate to the second continental CON
gress, which met at Philadelphia in
May, 1875. By that time, as the world
knows, the colonies were all afiame, for
patriot blood had been shed at Licking
ton and Concord on the 10th of the
April previous.
Driven back to Boston, the British
were soon covering within their de.
lenses, blockaded on the land side by
Is, 900 or 30, 600 Massachusetts minute
men and volunteers. That province had
been the first to collect the material for
war and to arm its population, and con
sequently, when the British set out for
Concord and before they had accom-
plished the object of their march, they
were beset by swarms of provincial
minutemen, who harassed their move
ments, finally brought them to a stand
and compelled their disastrous retreat,
with a loss of 273 in killed, wounded
and missing.
This was the critical condition of at
fairs that confronted the newly assem-
bled congress in May. 1775. The nu.
cleus of an army had been suddenly
formed. 1t was besieging the enemy,
directed by the Massachusetts provincial
congress. 1t was considered desirable
that the continental congress should as
sumo direction and appoint a command
er in chief.

CHAPTER XIV.
A CALI, FROM HIS COUNTRY

ShLb " hIc SOOVIh1s
From his uneventful and prosaic but
paradisaical state Of existence at Mount
Vernon Washington was soon to be
called, owing to his country needs. The
cloud of war gathering on the horizon
promised to gain %portentous proportions.
No longer could the American ~colonists
be W that discussions, possibly
bloody conflicts, impended, and the wis
er among them prepared for the predes.
tined separation. Among these was
Washington, whose integrity and patri-
otism, as we'll as sagacity and prescience,
it would be no less than impeaching to
admit for a moment that he at first lean
ed-as has been charged-toward the
royalist cause. Although he had more
to lose than many Americans, and al
though his affiliations had been hitherto
with the leaders of royalist society in
the most aristocratio province of the
colonies, he without hesitation cast his
lot and his vote with the American pa
triots.
In a letter of this time, which he
wrote to one of his former companions
in arms, then stationed at Boston, be
says:

that 1t is not the wish nor the interest
of the government of Massachusetts or
of any other government upon this con-

production of articles of luxury as we'll
as of necessity.
Though not highly intellectual, like
his great compatriots Franklin and
Jefferson, Washington loved books and
sent many an order to England for the
then standard publications. Still, he
was more of a thinker than a reader and
drew direct from nature more than from
books at secondhand. He rose at 4
O'Clock in the morning throughout the
year, spending the time before breakfast
(which was at 2 in summer and at 8 in
winter) in his library. After a frugal
repast he mounted his horse and rode
over his plantation until near time for
dinner, which was at 8. and for which
he dressed. He always retired at 9.
summer and winter, and whether his
house contained only himself, wife and
servants or was filled with guests.
An indication Of the change in public
opinion is seen in the general patronage
of the lottery, which was invoked OIL all
occasions, even to provide funds for the
erection Of a church. Examine"
Washington nee wrote to a friend, "if
