ish troops and forwarded to London by
Gen. Gage. There the letters were
made public. This particular letter
was published first in the London
Daily Advertiser of September 2, 1775,
exactly as it was written. A few days
later it was reprinted in the Gentle
mans Magazine with one paragraph
inserted, which gave the impression
that Washington and Harrison were
fellow conspirators in an Illicit love
affair with a slave girl.
The original of the letter is pre-
served in the Public Record Office in
London. There is a verbatim copy in
the Library of Congress. Both show
clearly that the paragraph in question
of the Gentleman's Magazine, which
wanted its readers to believe that
Washington lacked morals.
The scandals based on this para
graph, Mr.. Fitzpatrick has found, are
more persistent and widespread than
any others concerning Washington.
The letter has long since been for
gotten in Great Britain, but Washing
toms fellow Americans have treasured
it as a choice tidbit of scandal.
The second story traced to its source
by Mr.. Fitzpatrick is one, frequently
repeated, that while the Continental
Army occupied the city of New York
in 1876 the general became deeply in
volved with a girl who was acting as a
spy for the British and that she was
in the habit of stealing important pa
pers from his pocket, making copies of
them, and returning them-WaShing-

one letter in particular has been dug
up which might be considered as Civ
ing good advice to my dear son.
Five or six boys in nearby Virginia
were materially aided by Washington.
In the case of one in particular per-
sons anxious to build up a scandal
have found some facial resemblance
to Washington. The similarity be-
tween final ms and RS, Mr.. Fitzpatrick
finds, runs through all of Washing
toms correspondence. Where he was
careless with his is and forget to dot
them the resemblance becomes com
plete.
The fourth scandal disposed of by
Mr.. Fitzpatrick does not rest entirely
on documentary evidence and was not
based on such. This is that Wash
ington caught the cold that ended in
his death because of an affair with
the wife of one of his overseers. Why
else, ask his detractors, should an
elderly gentleman, susceptible to lung
trouble venture away from his fire
side on a stormy Winter day, pre-
sumably to inspect his plantation?
There was no pressing farm affairs
to be seen to at that time of year and
the explanation has been advanced
that Washington's inspection" was
merely an excuse to get away from
home.
Overtaken by Storm.
This story is traced originally to
Gen. Charles Lee, bitter enemy of
Washington. But Mr.. Fitzpatrick
finds from an examination of Wash
ingtons personal records that he very

ton presumably being in such condi-
ton that he did not observe the ac-
tions.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick first points out that
the story is f1imsy, even without defi-
mite evidence to prove 1t false. Even
if Washington had become involved
with the girl, it is extremely unlikely
that he would have carried loose in his
pocket papers of any value. He was
we'll aware that the city was infested
with spies.
But Mr.. Fitzpatrick finds that the
story is based entirely on a spurious
pamphlet, issued purely for propa-
ganda purposes, but cleverly done, pur-
porting to be a verbatim account of an
examination conducted by committee
of patriots into Tory spying activities
in New York, which resulted in the
execution of one Thomas Hickey. a
member of the Continental Army. The
story of Washington's relations with
this girl are told by two witnesses.
There was just enough basis of fact
to make the pamphlet sound plausible.
The committee of inquiry is described
as made up of II men, all bearing the
same or similar names to persons
prominent in Colonial affairs.
Such a committee did, in fact, func-
ton for a time. But none of the men
mentioned in the London pamphlet
ever served on it. No such persons

Stories About Girl Scandals
Mythical, Fitzpatrick Says

Librarian Holds FaISehoodS
Started by British to
Hurt Patriot.

Tory propa ga nda designed to stir up
hatred against the American patriots
during the Revolution, and which did
not stop at the forgery of personal let
ters, long has outlived its original pur-
pose and is responsible for the worst
allegations concerning the character
of George Washington. John G. Fitz-
patrick, assistant custodian of the
division of manuscripts of the Library
of Congress and editor of the diaries
of Washington, has become convinced.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick has Just succeeded in
tracing to their apparent sources some
of the Washington scandals and he
finds that the facts completely absolve
the first President.
In the Library of Congress there
are more than 400 manuscript vol
umes of Washington letters, account
books, diaries and personal papers
into which Mr.. Fitzpatrick has delved.
Washington scandals. Mr.. Fitzpatrick
believes. must be taken as they come,
and probably new ones will arise from
time to time in connection with cf-
forts sometimes well intentioned, to
"huma1iZe" the character OF the
Father of His Country at the expense
of his moral reputation.
With the approaching Washington
bi-centennial Mr. Fitzpatrick believes,
Washington at least should be given
the benefit of all the evidence in his
favor. but in the past his defenders
have been able to make only indig-
nant and general denials of charges
without any facts upon which to base
their defense.
Stories Began Abroad.
During the Revolution, Mr.. t1tzpat-
rick found, there was a natural de-
sire in Great Britain to paint the char
acter of Washington and his principal
followers as black as possible. There
is no evidence that this was done de-
liberately by the government OF
George III, although his ministers
hardly could have been consumed with
anger when letters which they gave
TO the press were distorted to give
the impression that the Americans
were scoundrels.

LETTER KOLUM

Editor, Nogales International,
Nogales, Arizona.
Dear Sir
Several times recently have
seen in different papers from
ever this state. reference to
"Senator Andy Bettwy, manager
Of Al Smiths campaign"
have heard many men in this
city and many from other parts
Of the state express themselves
IS wondering where Senator Bet
twy got the appointment. I have
also heard many express them
selves as being very much OPP
rosed to the arrangement.
1t has come to me, I think
through the napers that Senator
Rettwv received his appointX ent
as Smiths manager from some
men up in Utah.
I am curious to know how q
few men in Utah got to runring
Democratic polite in Arizona.
I saw in onA Of orr local na-
rers statenerF that while Sena-
for Bettwy was. in the East he
had conference with Gov.
Smith. A fow lav= after this
statement was rrinted saw in
another naror etatenent IN
which Gov. Smith denied that he
had beor, in ronfarpnce with onv-
one relative +o his candidacy for
tha rresidencv.
1t seems to me that if Mr..
Smiths campaign is to be for
warded in Arizona the manager
Of this campaign should be pick
ed by the supporters of Smith in
Arizona and not by some over
jealous friends in Utah.
I believe that it is up to
Smiths friends in this state to
get together and do what they
can to nut him over big. dc
not think they should leave it III
to the few hand nicked deleoa+e'
who were chosen bv Judge Whit
Of Phoenix and Senator Bettw,
to handle Smiths affairs in the
State.
