To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Not only so, but their existence as corporators cannot be terminated, their title impaired, nor their rights be diminished, nor their charter be repealed, amended, or modified, without their con- sent, by any legislative authority whatever ; even the General Assembly of Virginia is utterly powerless to do any one of these acts, or any other act in relation to that property, except only on the happening of one event : If the Mount Vernon Ladies* Association shall cease to exist, then the propert...y will revert to the Commonwealth of Virginia. The property was thus set aside and so placed beyond all legislative control, because the patriotic projectors of this laud- able undertaking wished to preserve the tomb, the house, and the grounds from all invasions from whatever source. It was for that reason that your predecessors, the general assembly, granted the charter without the usual reservation of the right to amend and repeal ; and it is their secure and indefeasible right forever to manage and control the property, which gives to the whole country confidence in its final preservation to the noble object for which it was so wisely appropriated.
