Thinks Title Is Legal.

The facts in the case have been sub
mitted to eminent counsel. and I am
advised that the title of my fathers
estate to the paper is, on well recog-
nized legal principles. perfect and un-
assailable. An answer to the suit in
the Supreme Court Of the United
States, brought by the commonwealth
Of Virginia. has been prepared and is
ready to be filed.
Should the case. however, come to
trial. issues will be raised as to the
late war, and the status of participants
therein. which it seems to be better
should not be raised in view of the fifty
years of peace and unity which have
elapsed since the termination of the
war.
II do not wish that through any act
Of mine differences long settled should
be recalled. Rather than revive the
memories OF ancient strife. long since
consigned to oblivion by the good sens
and good feeling and patriotism o. the
people of the United States, / greatly
prefer to waive such personal rights as
/ believe l have in this matter
moreover. l have the highest regard
pride OF all Americans in their splendid
traditions and lofty spirit 1 have cod
reason to believe that their sentiment
and interest have been aroused in re-
spect to this document, and feel it to be
a proper act on my part to return it to
their keeping.
"In view of the foregoing, and of your
eminent position presiding justice of
the supreme court of Virginia, and of
the confidence and esteem in which you
are justly held by that commonwealth.
/ hand you herewith the original will
of Martha Washington, with a request
that 1t be disposed of by you in such
way as will best meet the approval and
crafty the sentiment of Gov Stuart
and the people of Virginia.
IF I might be allowed to offer a sug-
gestion. II would be that, because Of
my fathers well known interest in
Mount Vernon and of my own connec-
tfon with II as member of the ad-
visory board Of the Mount Vernon Asso-
citation. IT seems to be peculiarly ap-
propriate that a relic closely ASSOC
ciated with Washington should be pre-
served and available to the public at
the place especially consecrated to his
personal memory.
SHOULD II become possible to carry
out this idea, II would give me salts
faction to provide at Mount Vernon an
appropriate and hreproof reoeptac Gle
for the safekeeping and preservation
Of this and other precious relics of the
place
