Abigail Adams on George Washington

ABIGAIL ADAMS, on first meeting Washington in 1774, wrote to John Adams:

You had prepared me to entertain a favorable opinion of him, but I thought the half was not told me. Dignity with ease and complacency, the gentleman and the soldier look agreeably blended in him. Modesty marks every line and feature of his face.

    Celia – well, this is my website. It’s on the Internet. I’ve been writing here for 10 years now. You have landed on only one post out of 10,000. I write a lot about Elvis. This is a personal website. Written by one woman with many eclectic interests.

    Besides, haven’t you heard? Elvis is everywhere.

    Washington was the Elvis of his time, after all.
