SONG HERE

Was the famous song, Last Rose
Of Summer" written in the early
spring?
One fact is definitely known-it
was written in Washington. The
old house where the song was
born is at PAIL Pennsylvania Ave.
n. w 1t stands there today.
During the days of President
Thomas Jefferson. the house was
the home of Valentine Merry. Brit
ish minister to the United States.
Many distinguished men from the
British Isles were entertained there,
not the least of whom was Tom
Moore the famous Irish poet.
When Moore came from Ireland.
because he could not subscribe to
certain edicts enforced by Eng
land. he took up residence with
Merry.
Jefferson was rot friendly with
Moore, NOR his convictions and did
not keep his sentiments a secret.
This attitude caused Moore 10
assume a. pompous air which he
carried into his writings.
He spent much of his time talk
ing and writing Of Jefferson. He
rldiculed him at every turn: he
referred to him as man of small
mind in big house and poked fun
at him.
Jefferson ignored the thrusts of
Moore.
The President and the country
were passing through a crisis in
the affairs of the country and
Jefferson was in hot water con-
tlnually over matters of so.called
diplomatic courtesy. 1t is said that
he never received Moore at the
Executive Mansion.
In spite of his bitterness against
Jefferson. Moore found time and
had the inclination to write many
odes, sonnets, ESSAYS while here.
