A more than ordinarily intimate and life-like view of the first President of the republic and his accomplished wife is presented in a letter written in 1884 by a lady who in her youth had known and associated much with them. of Following letter, is the principal portion the which, says the New Y r ork Tribune, was written by Mrs. John M. Bowers to Mrs. Edward Clarke, now both deceased. It forms an interesting and valuable contri¬ bution to the hood of Washington litera¬ ture and reminiscence called forth by the anniversary of his first inauguration: My earliest recollection of General Wash¬ ington was in the spring of 1781, when a guest of my mother, at Haekettstown, N. J. Although but three years of grand age at that time, I distinctly remember the appearance of that great and good man. The brilliancy of his epaulettes, and his impression peculiarly cocked hat and plume, made an on my infant mind never to be effaced. August and dignified as he was, however, be could condescend to amuse children. During an interval of a few minutes’ absence of my mother from the parlor, the General placed me on his knee, following and trotting ludicrous me merrily lines: thereon, sang the “There was an old, old man, and an old, old asiS* er. They lived in a vinegar bottle together,” repeating the last lins several times for a chorus. When my mother returned to the gJJ|« S* h ^fXinS U tyi£r l ‘‘‘Tte?iS dWotl3«S she had anticipated to reply to her question me by saying: T guess, General, they k ° ™Min s to ill„, t rat. th, reve renc8 inspired by the dignity and supa rioritv of the presence of the General, 1 might cite an anecdote of a Mrs. Graffe-an ignorant woman, a, foreigner by birth, an inveterate Tory, who resided near my moth er.
