1895: "Only about one half of my third paper on Washington is written. . . . [T]he whole of the paper being pretty thoroughly in my mind in detail, let me tell you what it is to contain . . . .
"The article culminates in the sending of delegates from Virginia to the first Continental Congress: and the illustration which most 'sticks in my head' is one which would represent the three delegates, Washington, Patrick Henry, and Peyton Randolph, getting to their horses in front of the door at Mt. Vernon, to set out for Philadelphia. . . ."
1896: ". . . I am able to send you to-day . . . revised copy for chapter ten and last. The narrative is so knit together in this last part that I found it impossible to cut it into two chapters, as I had wished to do. . . .
"I hope that you will let me have separate proof copies of the illustrations for the last article, as of the others, to complete my collection."
