LETTER TO MRS. FAIRFAX Showing changes and corrections made by Washington at a later date. From original copy-book in the Washington MSS. in the Department of State. PORTRAIT OF MARY PHILIPSE From the original formerly in the possession of Mr. Frederick Philipse. PORTRAIT OF MARTHA CUSTIS Alleged to have been painted by Woolaston about 1757. It has been asserted by Mr. L.W. Washington and Mr. Moncure D. Conway that this is a portrait of Betty Washington Lewis, but in this they are wholly in error, as proof exists that it is a portrait of Mrs. Washington before her second marriage. SURVEY OF MOUNT VERNON HILLS Made by Washington as a boy, and one of the earliest specimens of his work. The small drawing of the house represents it as it was before Washington enlarged it, and is the only picture of it known. Original in the Department of State. MOUNTAIN ROAD LOTTERY TICKET From the original in the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. FAMILY GROUP Painted by Edward Savage about 1795, and issued as a large engraving in 1798. The original picture is now in the possession of Mr. William F. Havemeyer, of New York. DINNER INVITATION The official invitation while President, from the original in the possession of the author. DANCING AGREEMENT This gives only the first few names, many more following. The original was formerly in the possession of Mr. Thomas Biddle, of Philadelphia. BOOK-PLATE OF WASHINGTON This is a slight variation from the true Washington coat of arms, the changes being introduced by Washington. From the original in the possession of the author. SURVEY OF WAKEFIELD Washington’s birthplace. The survey was made in 1743, on the property coming into the possession of Augustine Washington (second) from his father, with the object of readjusting the boundary-lines. Original in the possession of Mr. William F. Havemeyer, of New York.
