From the original print in the possession of Mr. W.F. Havemeyer, of New York. COPY SHEET FROM YOUNG MAN'S COMPANION The sheet from which Washington modelled his handwriting, and to which his earliest script shows a marked resemblance. From the original in the possession of the author. 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.

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.

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.

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.
