Synopsis

Excerpt from Report of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association of the Union, 1858

The Secretary of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association respectft submits the following report of the present state of affairs: In the month of April last, as the public have been already informed by the Regent of the Association, a contract was exe cuted by Mr. John A. Washington, in due legal form, for the purchase of Mount Vernon. In this way the object, so long pursued by the government of the Association, has been obtained, it is believed, in a manner most in consonance with the public sentiment. The contract provides for the purchase of two hundred acres of the land belonging to the Mount Vernon estate, including the mansion-house and its appendages, the gar den, the landing from the river as already established, and, above all, the tomb which contains the mortal remains of the Father of his Country.
