by an iron grating through which you can
look upon both tombs of himself and
Martha lying side by side Just back of
them is a vault containing the remains of
| thirty-five relatives. Trees have been plant
ed about the tomb by noted persons. The
inscription on his tomb is taken from Jno
II :25,26-"1 am the resurrection and the
life" etc. Farther up the slope I came
to his carriage house in which you can
still see his ancient coach in fair condition.
short distance farther up stands his large
two-story mansion. A well-kept garden is
close by and near 1t is the spinning house
in which were several spinning wheels and
reels. They were selling milk in the
kitchen in which stands the old crane in
at the pump just outside. The coy room of
Nellie Custis with her many playthings is
on the first floor in front. Many relics are
to be seen in the various histroic rooms.
Saw his compass and cane. Washington's
death-bed is shown in a fine large room
in good condition, but you will find Martha S
in small room up in the attic in front.
1t is said that when Washington died she
she could lock out upon his limb Hatchets
are made and sold from the wood grown
there. OF course I bought one. Back in
Washington again at 2:O5 p. M Later 1
