  • To Captain Bliss, 24 Dec. 1811

    Recipient

         I have not been unmindful of Mr Lunell's request that you would obtain for him something, however valueless in itself, which had been attached to the person of Genl Washington. After some reflection, it has occurred to me that I have in Philadelphia an article which will probably be more acceptable than any other to your friend, and that is, the flannel morning gown which was worn by my uncle to the time of his death. I have constantly used it since, so that it is not only old but perhaps tattered.
