GEORGE WASHINGTON 1797 LETTER TO
GEORGE WASHINGTON 1797 LETTER TO LUDWELL LEE (VIRGINIA)A 1797 letter from George Washington, commander of the Continental Army, Founding Father, and first President of the United States, addressed to Ludwell Lee (Esq.) of Shuter's Hill, Alexandria, Virginia. Ludwell Lee was a Speaker of the Virginia Senate, a kinsman of Robert E. Lee, and son of Richard Henry Lee, who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
The letter dates to a few months after Washington's second term as President. Washington's correspondence from that later period at Mount Vernon is now fairly scarce, as he would take ill and lose his life in 1799, and Martha Washington burned many of his personal papers for the privacy of the family.
" Mount Vernon, 29th Aug. 1797.
Dear Sir,
General Spotswood M'., Miss & Capt. Spotswood, and Miss Thornton of Culpepper (all relations I believe of yours) are now here. -- They, M'. Washington, and myself, would be glad to see you, M'. Lee, Miss Armistead & any others of your family, at Dinner tomorrow. -- With esteem & regard
I am - Dear Sir
Your Obed'. & Hble Serv'.
G': Washington "
The letter is framed with the images of George and Martha Washington, along with a transcription and brief contextual description. The letter measures 8 3/4" x 14 1/2", and the glazed frame measures 35 3/8" x 23 3/4" x 1 1/2".
Provenance : From the collection of a notable Kansas City doctor, benefactor, and descendant of the Spotswoods named in the letter. Acquired in 2002 from Early American History Auctions (Rancho Santa Fe, California).
Condition
The letter shows dampstaining above the addressee, some foxing and soiling, and residual staining from the wax seal. Typical and inherent folding.

PAIR OF EXCEPTIONAL POLYCHROME
PAIR OF EXCEPTIONAL POLYCHROME SCRIMSHAW WHALE’S TEETH WITH PORTRAITS OF GEORGE AND MARTHA WASHINGTON MID-19TH CENTURY LENGTHS 6.25".PAIR OF EXCEPTIONAL POLYCHROME SCRIMSHAW WHALE'S TEETH WITH PORTRAITS OF GEORGE AND MARTHA WASHINGTON, Mid-19th Century, Finely executed three-quarter length portraits exhibiting outstanding color and contrast. "Lady Washington" tooth image probably sourced from a plate in The Life of George Washington, by Jared Sparks (Boston: Tappen & Dennet, 1843) engraved by J. Cheney & J.G. Kellogg, after the original 1757 painting by John Wollaston. At the time of the portrait, Martha Dandridge, who would have been about age 25, was still married to her first husband, Daniel Parke Custis, who died in 1757. She is wearing a low-cut puffy-sleeve gown with a red bow on the bodice. It is a notably fashionable and svelte portrait, in stark contrast to the more commonplace dowdy likenesses. Portrait enclosed within a red and blue swag border containing white hearts bisected by red stripes and with leaves at each point. Rose garland below title cartouche. "Washington" tooth image probably sourced from a J.B. Forrest engraving published by G.P. Putnam around 1855, after the original 1772 painting by Charles Wilson Peale. Washington, about age 40, is wearing his uniform of colonel of the Virginia Regiment, which he commanded from 1755 to 1758 during the French and Indian Wars, including a feathered cockade, a long scarf, a vest and jacket, and a sword at his side. He has a musket at his back, which would not have been military-issued but possibly references Washington's sport hunting in his retirement years. Portrait enclosed by a red and blue crown-like swag border containing Union shields and with crosses at each point. Patriotic garland of crossed cannons and furled American flags below title cartouche. Martha Washington had commissioned the Peale portrait of her husband as a companion to the 1757 Wollaston portrait of her, and the pair of paintings hung in the front parlor of Mount Vernon. They are now part of the Washington & Lee University collection. Dimensions: Lengths 6.25". Provenance: Family history attributes the pair to the collection of Mary Sears Hough, acquired from her great-uncle Nathan Hathaway (1851-1922). On the DeNeuville-Hough side of the family was whaling master Nathan Smith, who commanded the New Bedford whaleship "Java" on an 1864-1868 voyage to the Indian Ocean.
