Washington's Courtesy

In that terrible winter at Valley
Forge when the fortunes and the
spirits Of the American army were at
their lowest ebb, there arrived at the
camp letter for Gen. George Wash
ington, letter containing a strange
request. The writer. Miss Kitty Liv-
ingston, wanted to know If the gen.
eral would send her a lock of his hair.
General Washington forwarded the
lock of hair, together with his COM
pliments.
This human sidelight on George
Washington was revealed recently
when the original letter was read be-
fore the Mount Vernon Ladies' asso-
citation. The letter was donated by
Miss Margaret Norton and Miss Eliz-
abeth Norton, great-granddaught
Of Kitty Livingston. 1t reads:
General Washington having been
informed lately of the honor done him
by Miss Kitty Livingston in wishing
for lock Of his hair, takes the lib
erty Of enclosing one accompanied by
his most respectful compliments"

Tablet in Honor of
Washington's Brother

A bronze tablet in memory Of Col.
Charles Washington, founder Of
Charles Town, Va. (now West Vir-
ginia), in 1856, was unveiled at exer-
cises in charge of Bee Line chapter,
D. A. R., which erected the tablet in
the historic courthouse at Charles
Town, w. Va, last year.
Citizens and officers of the county
gathered. Miss Frances d. Packette,
fifth great-niece of Charles Washing
ton, unveiled the tablet. Col. B. d.
Gibson Of Charles Town was master
of ceremonies.
Col. Charles Washington, brother Of
George Washington, was born on May
2, 1873. He served under his brother,
General Washington, in the Revolu-
ton, after which he returned to his
estate in Berkeley county.

In the center of the knoll rises the
granite shaft erected by the govern
ment.
The Potomac at Wakefield Is some
eight miles wide, and on the clearest
days the trees on the Maryland shore
appear only as blue haze. No house
Is In sight from the monument site,
although as a matter Of fact several
historic residences are not far away.
Wakefield lies practically between
Pope's creek and Bridges creek.
Scene Of Romance.
Washington's first romance occurred
there, too. Betsy Fauntleroy, Low
land Beauty" who lived at MAYORS
Hold, fifteen miles from Wakefield,
won his youthful affections. Proof Of
this Is seen in a letter written by
Washington to Betsy's father. 1t ran
as follows:
MAY 20, 1852.
To William Fauntleroy, Sr.
"Sir: 1 should have been down long
before this, but my business in Fred
erick detained me somewhat longer
than expected and Immediately upon
my return from thence I was taken
with a violent pleurice which has re-
duced me very low; but propose as
soon as 1 recover my strength to wait
on Miss Betsy in hopes Of revocation
Of the former cruel sentence, and see
If can meet with any alteration in
my favor I have inclosed a letter to
you for the delivery Of it, I having
nothing to add but my best respts to
your good lady and family.
GEORGE WASHINGTON"
His "Lowland Beauty"
This letter resolves all doubt about
the Identity of the "Lowland Beauty"
around whom has gathered so much
sentimental mystery and interest.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee discovered this let
ter written after Washington's return
from Barbados, March 4, 1852, so he
must have received his "cruel SEN
tence" from Miss Betsy before the voy-
age. September, 1851, which would
make him nineteen years of age and
the young lady sixteen. Thus 1t can
be seen that Washington not only
claimed Wakefield as his birthplace,
but as the beloved spot Of his boyhood
and first love as we'll.
1t is the ultimate purpose Of the
Wakefield association to buy the entire
tract of 1000 acres between Bridges
creek and Pope's creek, adjoining the
liz acres owned by the government.
The association proposes to erect on
or near the site of the Washington
family home a copy Of the original
house, the foundations of which al
ready have been traced.

To Restore so
Wsbhlnngtoh:s s
GM5 Birthplace


The Wakefield National Memorial
association, founded In 1928 in Wash
ington for restoring the old washing
ton homestead" to its original state,
already has acquired 20 acres Of this
long-neglected site.
The plan of the association has been
to restore and replace the Wakefield
home in Westmoreland county to the
state it was on February %, 1872,
when Washington was born.
The name, Wakefield" which has
SO long been yelled in obscurity, the
association points out, is destined to
bring to the nation a new meaning
when as shrine 1t will be fittingly
emphasized as the birthplace of the
first President. During congressional
hearings held for consideration Of
plans and authorization of adequate
appropriations for 1.-THE bicentennial
celebration Of the birth Of Washing
ton 1t was suggested that the observ-
ance should begin at the beginning
Wakefield.
His Boyhood Homo.
There at Wakefield, where much Of
the beautiful romance of Washington's
bOyhood was lived, Is a spot where all
Americans may do homage.
Referring to the visit of the Coolidge
Presidential party to Wakefield, DR..
Charles Moore, chairman Of the ma
tional commission Of fine arts and a
trustee of the Wakefield association,
wrote: 81
During his brief visit the Presi-
dent must have been depressed with
conditions prevailing at place so his
toric and at the same time so beauti-
full in itself When he came to de-
part the ebbing tide made it impos-
sible for a small boat to approach the
shore; and the government wharf had
long ago been so broken by the ice
that it survives only as a melancholy
and unsightly wreck. Therefore, the
party was compelled to drive eight or
| ten miles to Colonial beach to board
the Mayflower, the Presidents yacht.
This was the best Of an object lesson"
concluded Doctor Moore.
