Mr.. Putnam's personal inspection con-
firmed this dismal report.
Then came long and trying negotia-
tons. The department Of state offered
to restore the Washington will as II
had restored the Declaration Of indie
pendence, II the document were
brought to the District Of Columbia.
The Fairfax officials, backed by the
courts, decided that this was impos-
sible; that an act of the Virginia gep-1

manuscript division is William Ber-
wick, said to be the greatest living
expert In the restoration Of old manu-
scripts. The Fairfax people, supported
by Lawrence Washington and other
connections of the first presidents
family, concurred In the suggestion
that the will should be restored at the
courthouse by "Dr." Berwick.

knowledge and profound sense of the
