Mrs. Wash- ington was a middle-sized lady, rather stout ; her manner extremely kind and unaffected. She sat down on the sofa, and invited me to sit by her. I spoke of the pleasant days I had passed at Washington, and of the atten- tions I had received from her grand daughter, Mrs. Law. While engaged in this conversation, but with my thoughts turned to the expected ar- rival of the General, the door opened, and Mrs. Washington and myself rising, she said, " The President, " and introduced me to ...him. Never did I feel more interest than at this moment, when I saw the tall, upright, vener- able figure of this great man advancing tow- ards me to take me by the hand. There was a seriousness in his manner which seemed to contribute to the impressive dignity of his person, without diminishing the confidence and ease which the benevolence of his coun- tenance and the kindness of his address in- spired. There are persons in whose appear- ance one looks in vain for the qualities they are known to possess, but the appearance of General Washington harmonized in a singu- lar manner with the dignity and modesty of his public life.
