inscribed Mount Vernon, May 20. 80. !"
Whether the last two numerals were in

clear, but historians secuted the pos

AUTHENTICITY DENIED.
Virginia Society Says Claim of Finder
Is Impossible.

NHbAAo CONtSy says %t0Ahh Va A"uNA
Is Impossible.
RICHMOND, Va, March 3 LP).-A,
letter written from Mount Vernon IL
1882 to Col. Burwell Bassett of Rich
mond and signed George Washington"
could not have been written by Gen.
Washington, the Virginia Historical
Society said today when informed that
such a letter had been found among
family papers by Mrs. Milton Fish Of
Uxbridge, Mass.
The letter found in Massachusetts,
spoke of affection for Col. Bassetts
daughter, and this, the Virginia His
torical Society said. indicates that it
may have been written py one of the
younger Washingtons.
1T Is impossible that the letter dis
covered in Massachusetts, could have
been written by Gen. Washington" said
w. G. Stanard, secretary Of the Virginia
Society. Washington and Col Bassett
were brothers-in-law and Washington
frequently stopped with him in Rich
mond.
Gen. Washington married the widow
Gusts, in 1859, and Col Bassett married
her sister, a Miss cambridge Gen.
Washington's wife was living at the time
the letter was written.
From its tone, speaking in terms of
ELECTION for Col. Bassett's daughter, it
apparently was written by one of the
younger Washingtons.
