Tablet in Honor of
Woshington'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,
II il. r., which erected the tablet in
the historic courthouse at Charles
Town, ". Va. last year.
Citizens and officers of the county
gathered. Miss Frances D. Packette,
fifth great-n!ece of Charles Washing
ten, 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
3, 1888. He served under his brother,
General Washington. in the Revolu-
ton, after which he returned to his
estate in Berkeley county.

Kenmore, Home of Betty Washington.

unusually elaborate. On the ceilings
and on the walls are encrusted beau
tiful frescoes. The material is stucco
and has remained fresh as if shaped
the day before yesterday in spite of
the nearly two hundred years they
have been in existence.
Although built in 1853, when Col
onel Lewis and Betty Washington
were married, Kenmore was not COM
pleted until long afterward. Like ev-
cry beloved home, new additions and
fiXings were added as the years went
by and brought new necessities.
Beautiful Grounds.
Thus more than twenty years after
it had been erected and already af-
forded hospitality to many famous
men and women, and had been wit
ness to many scenes destined to be-
come historical, the famous decora-
tons in stucco were made.
The grounds are no less charming
than the building itself Beautiful
lawns fragrant walks overhung with
willows and magnificent oaks, make
the approaches to the house of eX-
quisite charm. Behind it is the cot
tage where Mary Washington, the
mother of George and Betty, lived and
died. The lawn stretches to within
a few steps of the granite shaft which
stands over her grave. After the death
of its founders, and of the famous
men whom it sheltered, the house
passed into variety of hands.
During the Civil war it had its share
of misfortunes which fell so heavily
upon many of the historical homes Of
the South. After the conflict it was
for a time the home Of negroes, and
was not restored to the traditions and
the glory which it deserved until re
cent years.
Unlike many of the noted Colonial
mansions, Kenmore is easy of access
on the Dixie highway between Wash
ington and Richmond.

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
ing,on, a letter containing a strange
request. The writer, Miss Kitty Liv-
ingston. wanted to know if the gen.
eral would send her lock of his hair.
General Washington forwarded the
lasck of hair, together with his COM
plfments.
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, eat-granddaughters
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"

In the center of the knoll rises the

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: l should have been down long
before this, but my business in Fred
erick detained me somewhat longer
than l expected and Immediately upon
my return from thence 1 was taken
with a violent pleurice which has re-
duced me very low; but propose as
soon as L recover my strength to wait
on Miss Betsy in hopes Of a revocation
of the former cruel sentence, and see
If l can meet with any alteration in
my favor. l have inclosed a letter to
her, which should be much obliged 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 LowIand 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 Washingtons 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 it can
be seen that Washington not only
claimed Wakefield as his birthplace,
but as the beloved spot of his boyhood
and first love as well.
Ii 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

willingness to surrender local advan-
tages for the general good. Perhaps
as striking an instance of the opera
ton of this law will be found in the
attitude of the people of the area now
included in the state of Vermont. The
treaty of peace with Great Britain.
which acknowledged the independence
of the United States, enumerated each
state as sovereign and granted also
the territory west of New Hampshire.
Many of the residents of this area,
however, regarded their best interests
to be with Canada, because the outlet
to the sea was through the waters that
led to the st. Lawrence river. Rail-
roads were unthought of at that time.
Among the leaders of the party that
declared against entering the United
States was Ethan Allen the famous
patriot, and his two brothers. Active
resistance to inclusion of the state
was threatened, but it came to naught
and the "Green Mountain" state was
duly admitted as the fourteenth state.
Problem Faced Young Nation.
During the Revolution many efforts
We're made to bring about closer
union of the several states. Finally,
a couple of years before the close of
the war, the articles of Confedera-
ton" were adopted. They did not sat
isfy many of the leaders, including
such as Washington, Hamilton, Wilson
and Madison, but were the best that
could be obtained at that time. Mean
while, the pioneer spirit so characteris-
tic of the COlonials was urging move
ments towards and beyond the noun
tain range, and the problem of the
Mississippi valley was becoming Sc
rious. French colonization had been
active from the north, especially In
the region of the Great lakes, but by
the Treaty of Paris, in 1853, which
closed the Seven Years war, France
had lost all it's Canadian possessions.
Spain was in possession of territory in
the Gulf region. The Mississippi riv-
err is the only outlet to the sea for the
vast valley that it drains, and it was
obvious that any considerable settle
ments by American pioneers In this
valley would find necessity either OF
using the river or of sending their prod
uce over the mountain range to the
Atlantic ports. These matters, of
course, did not attract much atten-
ton between 1775 and 1888, for in
those years the dominant note was
war; but with the coming of peace
domestic questions came to the front
and grave difficulties arose. 1t seems,
indeed, from the contemporary litera-
ture, that many Americans regarded
their particular state as ALLIANCE
rather than as in union" with the
others.
Saw Routes in Advance.
When Washington began TO urge his
plans for the slack-water system on
the Potomac, the people of the James
river section became Jealous. They
were unwilling that state aid should
be given to a project in Gn entirely
different section. 1t became necessary
for the friends of the Potomac project
to support one for the Improvement OF
the James river, and the James River
Improvement company was duly or
ganized coincident with that of the
Potomac company. Each company
was based on a definite amount OF
shares. By an act of the Virginia leg
! islature q block of shares was voted
