This tract of land was situated along the Potomac River between the mouths of Little Hunting Creek and Dogue Creek.  The document is partially printed and filled out by George Washington in his own hand on June 10, 1772.  Washington signed his name five times within the text, and Posey signed it at the conclusion.  Witnesses John Parke Custis, Jonathan Palmer, Thomas Bishop and another individual, whose autograph is indecipherable, all signed that this document was sealed and delivered in their presence.  An inscription at the bottom of the document states that on October 19, 1772, court was held for the County of Fairfax and this lease was proved by the oaths of the witnesses to be the deed of John Posey.  The acquisition of this document by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association closes the circle on this important story and piece of Mount Vernon land which is approximately where the wharf of today is located.  It is the third in a series of documents between John Posey and George Washington.  The first two documents, GEORGE WASHINGTON'S SURVEY FOR JOHN POSEY, OCTOBER 10, 1769 (A-481.1) and LEASE FROM JOHN POSEY TO GEORGE WASHINGTON, APRIL 23, 1770 (RM-1022, MS-5650) already in Mount Vernon's possession, demonstrate Washington's longstanding interest in acquiring this tract of Posey's land.  This third and final document, negotiating the sale of the property to Washington, tells the story of his eventual success in acquiring the land and expanding his Mount Vernon estate.    Captain John Posey was a veteran of the French and Indian War, and George Washington's neighbor.  John Posey's home, Rover's Delight, was just a mile downriver, southwest, of Mount Vernon.  Posey farmed his plantation and operated a public ferry across the Potomac to Maryland.  Posey was a friend of Washington's and often joined him in fox hunts and to play cards.  John Posey suffered financial trouble throughout the 1760's and took loans from George Washington as well as other creditors.  For example, on October 1, 1763, Washington took a £700 mortgage on Posey's property.  Over the years the interest on Posey's debts grew and by October 1769 Posey's debt to Washington had grown to nearly 1,000 pounds Virginia currency.  On October 10, 1769, George Washington surveyed the land later purchased in this agreement (see A-481.1).  At that time this portion of land was under dispute between Posey and John West.  As a result of the demands of Posey's many creditors, the remainder of Posey's Virginia property, which was not under dispute, was auctioned off under court order on October 23, 1769.  With the 1769 sale, Washington was recompensed for his loans to Posey and Washington was able to acquire 200 acres of Posey's land.    However, Washington also desired ownership of the small area of disputed land which contained Posey's ferry and fishery.  Fortunately for Washington, Posey soon found himself back in debt.  On April 23, 1770, George Washington began to lease from Posey the land which had been under dispute between Posey and John West.  Washington was interested in leasing this land because it was located adjacent to Mount Vernon and on the Potomac River very close to his fishing and shipping operations.  With this 1770 lease, Washington assumed the management of Posey's land and ferry.  At some point during the following year, Posey resettled in Queenstown on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.  Washington continued to lease this land until finally acquiring it with this purchase document in 1772.  THE PAPERS OF GEORGE WASHINGTON state that the eventual purchase of this tract of land took place on June 8, 1772, because a deed of release from Posey to Washington now in the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia carries this date (Colonial Series Vol. 8 187).  However, this official purchase agreement in the collection of Mount Vernon is dated June 10, 1772, and an inscription notes court was held on October 19, 1772.  By the time Washington made this agreement Posey was so broke that Washington was able to acquire the land, as well as Posey's house, ferry and horse-all for 50 pounds (Rees 154).    Witness Jonathan Palmer was George Washington's master carpenter.  Once Washington began leasing Posey's land, Washington had Palmer and his family move into Posey's home.  Washington records this in his diary on May 16, 1770.  It is because of Palmer's place of residence and connection to Posey and Washington that Palmer was eventually selected as one of the witnesses to this purchase agreement.","Inscription with a date of 1774.

This tract of land was situated along the Potomac River between the mouths of Little Hunting Creek and Dogue Creek.  The document is partially printed and filled out by George Washington in his own hand on June 10, 1772.  Washington signed his name five times within the text, and Posey signed it at the conclusion.  Witnesses John Parke Custis, Jonathan Palmer, Thomas Bishop and another individual, whose autograph is indecipherable, all signed that this document was sealed and delivered in their presence.  An inscription at the bottom of the document states that on October 19, 1772, court was held for the County of Fairfax and this lease was proved by the oaths of the witnesses to be the deed of John Posey.  The acquisition of this document by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association closes the circle on this important story and piece of Mount Vernon land which is approximately where the wharf of today is located.  It is the third in a series of documents between John Posey and George Washington.  The first two documents, GEORGE WASHINGTON'S SURVEY FOR JOHN POSEY, OCTOBER 10, 1769 (A-481.1) and LEASE FROM JOHN POSEY TO GEORGE WASHINGTON, APRIL 23, 1770 (RM-1022, MS-5650) already in Mount Vernon's possession, demonstrate Washington's longstanding interest in acquiring this tract of Posey's land.  This third and final document, negotiating the sale of the property to Washington, tells the story of his eventual success in acquiring the land and expanding his Mount Vernon estate.    Captain John Posey was a veteran of the French and Indian War, and George Washington's neighbor.  John Posey's home, Rover's Delight, was just a mile downriver, southwest, of Mount Vernon.  Posey farmed his plantation and operated a public ferry across the Potomac to Maryland.  Posey was a friend of Washington's and often joined him in fox hunts and to play cards.  John Posey suffered financial trouble throughout the 1760's and took loans from George Washington as well as other creditors.  For example, on October 1, 1763, Washington took a £700 mortgage on Posey's property.  Over the years the interest on Posey's debts grew and by October 1769 Posey's debt to Washington had grown to nearly 1,000 pounds Virginia currency.  On October 10, 1769, George Washington surveyed the land later purchased in this agreement (see A-481.1).  At that time this portion of land was under dispute between Posey and John West.  As a result of the demands of Posey's many creditors, the remainder of Posey's Virginia property, which was not under dispute, was auctioned off under court order on October 23, 1769.  With the 1769 sale, Washington was recompensed for his loans to Posey and Washington was able to acquire 200 acres of Posey's land.    However, Washington also desired ownership of the small area of disputed land which contained Posey's ferry and fishery.  Fortunately for Washington, Posey soon found himself back in debt.  On April 23, 1770, George Washington began to lease from Posey the land which had been under dispute between Posey and John West.  Washington was interested in leasing this land because it was located adjacent to Mount Vernon and on the Potomac River very close to his fishing and shipping operations.  With this 1770 lease, Washington assumed the management of Posey's land and ferry.  At some point during the following year, Posey resettled in Queenstown on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.  Washington continued to lease this land until finally acquiring it with this purchase document in 1772.  THE PAPERS OF GEORGE WASHINGTON state that the eventual purchase of this tract of land took place on June 8, 1772, because a deed of release from Posey to Washington now in the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia carries this date (Colonial Series Vol. 8 187).  However, this official purchase agreement in the collection of Mount Vernon is dated June 10, 1772, and an inscription notes court was held on October 19, 1772.  By the time Washington made this agreement Posey was so broke that Washington was able to acquire the land, as well as Posey's house, ferry and horse-all for 50 pounds (Rees 154).    Witness Jonathan Palmer was George Washington's master carpenter.  Once Washington began leasing Posey's land, Washington had Palmer and his family move into Posey's home.  Washington records this in his diary on May 16, 1770.  It is because of Palmer's place of residence and connection to Posey and Washington that Palmer was eventually selected as one of the witnesses to this purchase agreement.","Inscription with a date of 1774.

This tract of land was situated along the Potomac River between the mouths of Little Hunting Creek and Dogue Creek.  The document is partially printed and filled out by George Washington in his own hand on June 10, 1772.  Washington signed his name five times within the text, and Posey signed it at the conclusion.  Witnesses John Parke Custis, Jonathan Palmer, Thomas Bishop and another individual, whose autograph is indecipherable, all signed that this document was sealed and delivered in their presence.  An inscription at the bottom of the document states that on October 19, 1772, court was held for the County of Fairfax and this lease was proved by the oaths of the witnesses to be the deed of John Posey.  The acquisition of this document by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association closes the circle on this important story and piece of Mount Vernon land which is approximately where the wharf of today is located.  It is the third in a series of documents between John Posey and George Washington.  The first two documents, GEORGE WASHINGTON'S SURVEY FOR JOHN POSEY, OCTOBER 10, 1769 (A-481.1) and LEASE FROM JOHN POSEY TO GEORGE WASHINGTON, APRIL 23, 1770 (RM-1022, MS-5650) already in Mount Vernon's possession, demonstrate Washington's longstanding interest in acquiring this tract of Posey's land.  This third and final document, negotiating the sale of the property to Washington, tells the story of his eventual success in acquiring the land and expanding his Mount Vernon estate.    Captain John Posey was a veteran of the French and Indian War, and George Washington's neighbor.  John Posey's home, Rover's Delight, was just a mile downriver, southwest, of Mount Vernon.  Posey farmed his plantation and operated a public ferry across the Potomac to Maryland.  Posey was a friend of Washington's and often joined him in fox hunts and to play cards.  John Posey suffered financial trouble throughout the 1760's and took loans from George Washington as well as other creditors.  For example, on October 1, 1763, Washington took a £700 mortgage on Posey's property.  Over the years the interest on Posey's debts grew and by October 1769 Posey's debt to Washington had grown to nearly 1,000 pounds Virginia currency.  On October 10, 1769, George Washington surveyed the land later purchased in this agreement (see A-481.1).  At that time this portion of land was under dispute between Posey and John West.  As a result of the demands of Posey's many creditors, the remainder of Posey's Virginia property, which was not under dispute, was auctioned off under court order on October 23, 1769.  With the 1769 sale, Washington was recompensed for his loans to Posey and Washington was able to acquire 200 acres of Posey's land.    However, Washington also desired ownership of the small area of disputed land which contained Posey's ferry and fishery.  Fortunately for Washington, Posey soon found himself back in debt.  On April 23, 1770, George Washington began to lease from Posey the land which had been under dispute between Posey and John West.  Washington was interested in leasing this land because it was located adjacent to Mount Vernon and on the Potomac River very close to his fishing and shipping operations.  With this 1770 lease, Washington assumed the management of Posey's land and ferry.  At some point during the following year, Posey resettled in Queenstown on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.  Washington continued to lease this land until finally acquiring it with this purchase document in 1772.  THE PAPERS OF GEORGE WASHINGTON state that the eventual purchase of this tract of land took place on June 8, 1772, because a deed of release from Posey to Washington now in the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia carries this date (Colonial Series Vol. 8 187).  However, this official purchase agreement in the collection of Mount Vernon is dated June 10, 1772, and an inscription notes court was held on October 19, 1772.  By the time Washington made this agreement Posey was so broke that Washington was able to acquire the land, as well as Posey's house, ferry and horse-all for 50 pounds (Rees 154).    Witness Jonathan Palmer was George Washington's master carpenter.  Once Washington began leasing Posey's land, Washington had Palmer and his family move into Posey's home.  Washington records this in his diary on May 16, 1770.  It is because of Palmer's place of residence and connection to Posey and Washington that Palmer was eventually selected as one of the witnesses to this purchase agreement.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eInscription with a date of 1774.

In need of a new farm manager, Washington considered his nephew, Lawrence Lewis.","Concerned that Lewis was too inexperienced for the job, Washington remarked on the necessary qualifitcations necessary: \"…so little haveg it in my power to visit, or attend to my private concerns, that it becomes extremly necessary (besides fidility) to have an experienced \u0026 skilful man, of some weight, to manage my business; one whose Judgment is able to direct him in cases which may arise out of circumstances that can neither be foreseen, nor previously guarded against.","Washington continued, \"What the age of Mr Lawrence Lewis is—what opportunities he may have had to acquire any knowledge in the management of a Farm. What his disposition, whether active or indolent. Whether clear in his perceptions, \u0026 of good Judgment. Whether sober \u0026 sedate, or fond of amusements and running about—with other queries which might be asked, as well applying to a young man Just entering on the career of life; are all matters to which I am an entire stranger; and if you can give me information respecting them, I shall thank you. You will readily perceive that my sole object in these enquiries is to ascertain the competency of a character to whom I should commit an important trust; consequently, going no farther, can operate nothing to the prejudice of my Nephew, whatever, in confidence, you may say to me on the foregoing points and such others as may occur to you.\"","Washington instead hired a more seasoned farm manager, William Pearce.  Pearce served as farm manager until 1796 during which time Lewis came to stay at Mount Vernon and worked in some managerial capacity, but the official farm manager by then was James Anderson.  Lewis eventually married Nelly Custis in 1799 and lived the remainder of his life at Woodlawn.","Has heard from Mr. Robert Lewis that Crow desires increase in wages -- since he had best crop last year at Union Farm, Washington will raise him to £40 per annum as an encouragement, but will not raise him any higher hereafter.","Requests that Mercer forward deed from \"yourself \u0026 others to me\" if it has been duly executed and recorded.","Has given James Keith a draught on Col.

This tract of land was situated along the Potomac River between the mouths of Little Hunting Creek and Dogue Creek.  The document is partially printed and filled out by George Washington in his own hand on June 10, 1772.  Washington signed his name five times within the text, and Posey signed it at the conclusion.  Witnesses John Parke Custis, Jonathan Palmer, Thomas Bishop and another individual, whose autograph is indecipherable, all signed that this document was sealed and delivered in their presence.  An inscription at the bottom of the document states that on October 19, 1772, court was held for the County of Fairfax and this lease was proved by the oaths of the witnesses to be the deed of John Posey.  The acquisition of this document by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association closes the circle on this important story and piece of Mount Vernon land which is approximately where the wharf of today is located.  It is the third in a series of documents between John Posey and George Washington.  The first two documents, GEORGE WASHINGTON'S SURVEY FOR JOHN POSEY, OCTOBER 10, 1769 (A-481.1) and LEASE FROM JOHN POSEY TO GEORGE WASHINGTON, APRIL 23, 1770 (RM-1022, MS-5650) already in Mount Vernon's possession, demonstrate Washington's longstanding interest in acquiring this tract of Posey's land.  This third and final document, negotiating the sale of the property to Washington, tells the story of his eventual success in acquiring the land and expanding his Mount Vernon estate.    Captain John Posey was a veteran of the French and Indian War, and George Washington's neighbor.  John Posey's home, Rover's Delight, was just a mile downriver, southwest, of Mount Vernon.  Posey farmed his plantation and operated a public ferry across the Potomac to Maryland.  Posey was a friend of Washington's and often joined him in fox hunts and to play cards.  John Posey suffered financial trouble throughout the 1760's and took loans from George Washington as well as other creditors.  For example, on October 1, 1763, Washington took a £700 mortgage on Posey's property.  Over the years the interest on Posey's debts grew and by October 1769 Posey's debt to Washington had grown to nearly 1,000 pounds Virginia currency.  On October 10, 1769, George Washington surveyed the land later purchased in this agreement (see A-481.1).  At that time this portion of land was under dispute between Posey and John West.  As a result of the demands of Posey's many creditors, the remainder of Posey's Virginia property, which was not under dispute, was auctioned off under court order on October 23, 1769.  With the 1769 sale, Washington was recompensed for his loans to Posey and Washington was able to acquire 200 acres of Posey's land.    However, Washington also desired ownership of the small area of disputed land which contained Posey's ferry and fishery.  Fortunately for Washington, Posey soon found himself back in debt.  On April 23, 1770, George Washington began to lease from Posey the land which had been under dispute between Posey and John West.  Washington was interested in leasing this land because it was located adjacent to Mount Vernon and on the Potomac River very close to his fishing and shipping operations.  With this 1770 lease, Washington assumed the management of Posey's land and ferry.  At some point during the following year, Posey resettled in Queenstown on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.  Washington continued to lease this land until finally acquiring it with this purchase document in 1772.  THE PAPERS OF GEORGE WASHINGTON state that the eventual purchase of this tract of land took place on June 8, 1772, because a deed of release from Posey to Washington now in the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia carries this date (Colonial Series Vol. 8 187).  However, this official purchase agreement in the collection of Mount Vernon is dated June 10, 1772, and an inscription notes court was held on October 19, 1772.  By the time Washington made this agreement Posey was so broke that Washington was able to acquire the land, as well as Posey's house, ferry and horse-all for 50 pounds (Rees 154).    Witness Jonathan Palmer was George Washington's master carpenter.  Once Washington began leasing Posey's land, Washington had Palmer and his family move into Posey's home.  Washington records this in his diary on May 16, 1770.  It is because of Palmer's place of residence and connection to Posey and Washington that Palmer was eventually selected as one of the witnesses to this purchase agreement.","Inscription with a date of 1774.

This tract of land was situated along the Potomac River between the mouths of Little Hunting Creek and Dogue Creek.  The document is partially printed and filled out by George Washington in his own hand on June 10, 1772.  Washington signed his name five times within the text, and Posey signed it at the conclusion.  Witnesses John Parke Custis, Jonathan Palmer, Thomas Bishop and another individual, whose autograph is indecipherable, all signed that this document was sealed and delivered in their presence.  An inscription at the bottom of the document states that on October 19, 1772, court was held for the County of Fairfax and this lease was proved by the oaths of the witnesses to be the deed of John Posey.  The acquisition of this document by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association closes the circle on this important story and piece of Mount Vernon land which is approximately where the wharf of today is located.  It is the third in a series of documents between John Posey and George Washington.  The first two documents, GEORGE WASHINGTON'S SURVEY FOR JOHN POSEY, OCTOBER 10, 1769 (A-481.1) and LEASE FROM JOHN POSEY TO GEORGE WASHINGTON, APRIL 23, 1770 (RM-1022, MS-5650) already in Mount Vernon's possession, demonstrate Washington's longstanding interest in acquiring this tract of Posey's land.  This third and final document, negotiating the sale of the property to Washington, tells the story of his eventual success in acquiring the land and expanding his Mount Vernon estate.    Captain John Posey was a veteran of the French and Indian War, and George Washington's neighbor.  John Posey's home, Rover's Delight, was just a mile downriver, southwest, of Mount Vernon.  Posey farmed his plantation and operated a public ferry across the Potomac to Maryland.  Posey was a friend of Washington's and often joined him in fox hunts and to play cards.  John Posey suffered financial trouble throughout the 1760's and took loans from George Washington as well as other creditors.  For example, on October 1, 1763, Washington took a £700 mortgage on Posey's property.  Over the years the interest on Posey's debts grew and by October 1769 Posey's debt to Washington had grown to nearly 1,000 pounds Virginia currency.  On October 10, 1769, George Washington surveyed the land later purchased in this agreement (see A-481.1).  At that time this portion of land was under dispute between Posey and John West.  As a result of the demands of Posey's many creditors, the remainder of Posey's Virginia property, which was not under dispute, was auctioned off under court order on October 23, 1769.  With the 1769 sale, Washington was recompensed for his loans to Posey and Washington was able to acquire 200 acres of Posey's land.    However, Washington also desired ownership of the small area of disputed land which contained Posey's ferry and fishery.  Fortunately for Washington, Posey soon found himself back in debt.  On April 23, 1770, George Washington began to lease from Posey the land which had been under dispute between Posey and John West.  Washington was interested in leasing this land because it was located adjacent to Mount Vernon and on the Potomac River very close to his fishing and shipping operations.  With this 1770 lease, Washington assumed the management of Posey's land and ferry.  At some point during the following year, Posey resettled in Queenstown on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.  Washington continued to lease this land until finally acquiring it with this purchase document in 1772.  THE PAPERS OF GEORGE WASHINGTON state that the eventual purchase of this tract of land took place on June 8, 1772, because a deed of release from Posey to Washington now in the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia carries this date (Colonial Series Vol. 8 187).  However, this official purchase agreement in the collection of Mount Vernon is dated June 10, 1772, and an inscription notes court was held on October 19, 1772.  By the time Washington made this agreement Posey was so broke that Washington was able to acquire the land, as well as Posey's house, ferry and horse-all for 50 pounds (Rees 154).    Witness Jonathan Palmer was George Washington's master carpenter.  Once Washington began leasing Posey's land, Washington had Palmer and his family move into Posey's home.  Washington records this in his diary on May 16, 1770.  It is because of Palmer's place of residence and connection to Posey and Washington that Palmer was eventually selected as one of the witnesses to this purchase agreement.","Inscription with a date of 1774.

This tract of land was situated along the Potomac River between the mouths of Little Hunting Creek and Dogue Creek.  The document is partially printed and filled out by George Washington in his own hand on June 10, 1772.  Washington signed his name five times within the text, and Posey signed it at the conclusion.  Witnesses John Parke Custis, Jonathan Palmer, Thomas Bishop and another individual, whose autograph is indecipherable, all signed that this document was sealed and delivered in their presence.  An inscription at the bottom of the document states that on October 19, 1772, court was held for the County of Fairfax and this lease was proved by the oaths of the witnesses to be the deed of John Posey.  The acquisition of this document by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association closes the circle on this important story and piece of Mount Vernon land which is approximately where the wharf of today is located.  It is the third in a series of documents between John Posey and George Washington.  The first two documents, GEORGE WASHINGTON'S SURVEY FOR JOHN POSEY, OCTOBER 10, 1769 (A-481.1) and LEASE FROM JOHN POSEY TO GEORGE WASHINGTON, APRIL 23, 1770 (RM-1022, MS-5650) already in Mount Vernon's possession, demonstrate Washington's longstanding interest in acquiring this tract of Posey's land.  This third and final document, negotiating the sale of the property to Washington, tells the story of his eventual success in acquiring the land and expanding his Mount Vernon estate.    Captain John Posey was a veteran of the French and Indian War, and George Washington's neighbor.  John Posey's home, Rover's Delight, was just a mile downriver, southwest, of Mount Vernon.  Posey farmed his plantation and operated a public ferry across the Potomac to Maryland.  Posey was a friend of Washington's and often joined him in fox hunts and to play cards.  John Posey suffered financial trouble throughout the 1760's and took loans from George Washington as well as other creditors.  For example, on October 1, 1763, Washington took a £700 mortgage on Posey's property.  Over the years the interest on Posey's debts grew and by October 1769 Posey's debt to Washington had grown to nearly 1,000 pounds Virginia currency.  On October 10, 1769, George Washington surveyed the land later purchased in this agreement (see A-481.1).  At that time this portion of land was under dispute between Posey and John West.  As a result of the demands of Posey's many creditors, the remainder of Posey's Virginia property, which was not under dispute, was auctioned off under court order on October 23, 1769.  With the 1769 sale, Washington was recompensed for his loans to Posey and Washington was able to acquire 200 acres of Posey's land.    However, Washington also desired ownership of the small area of disputed land which contained Posey's ferry and fishery.  Fortunately for Washington, Posey soon found himself back in debt.  On April 23, 1770, George Washington began to lease from Posey the land which had been under dispute between Posey and John West.  Washington was interested in leasing this land because it was located adjacent to Mount Vernon and on the Potomac River very close to his fishing and shipping operations.  With this 1770 lease, Washington assumed the management of Posey's land and ferry.  At some point during the following year, Posey resettled in Queenstown on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.  Washington continued to lease this land until finally acquiring it with this purchase document in 1772.  THE PAPERS OF GEORGE WASHINGTON state that the eventual purchase of this tract of land took place on June 8, 1772, because a deed of release from Posey to Washington now in the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia carries this date (Colonial Series Vol. 8 187).  However, this official purchase agreement in the collection of Mount Vernon is dated June 10, 1772, and an inscription notes court was held on October 19, 1772.  By the time Washington made this agreement Posey was so broke that Washington was able to acquire the land, as well as Posey's house, ferry and horse-all for 50 pounds (Rees 154).    Witness Jonathan Palmer was George Washington's master carpenter.  Once Washington began leasing Posey's land, Washington had Palmer and his family move into Posey's home.  Washington records this in his diary on May 16, 1770.  It is because of Palmer's place of residence and connection to Posey and Washington that Palmer was eventually selected as one of the witnesses to this purchase agreement.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eInscription with a date of 1774.

He attended Aspen Hill Academy in Louisa County, Virginia, and completed studies there in 1868. After teaching in a boys school in Nelson County, Virginia, he entered the University of Virginia, where he earned proficiency certificates in Mineralogy and Geology, and in Physics, and a diploma from the School of Pure Mathematics in June of 1872. In July 1873, he earned diplomas from the Schools of General and Industrial Chemistry, Natural Philosophy, Applied Mathematics, and Civil Engineering. Subsequently Carter pursued an interest in Medicine, and he recieved an M.D. degree from the University of Maryland in March of 1879. That year he joined the Marine Hospital Service (later the United States Public Health Service) and over his career ascended through the ranks to become Assistant Surgeon General in 1915.\n","\nInitial postings with the Service took him to Cairo, Illinois -- where he met and married Laura Hook, of St. Louis, Missouri, on September 29, 1880 -- Memphis, Tennessee; San Francisco, California; and New Orleans, Louisiana. The Service detailed him as a quarantine officer to Ship Island, Mississippi in 1888, and here began his researches with yellow fever, which he would quickly refine to an extremely high level of expertise. Carter's thorough and methodical observations of the appearance and development of the disease proved critical to Dr. Walter Reed's landmark demonstration of the mosquito transmission of yellow fever in 1900. Assigned to Cuba in 1899, Carter's tour of duty overlapped with those of Reed and the other members of the famous United States Army Yellow Fever Commission, who were able to learn first-hand of Carter's most recent conclusions.\n","\nCarter's long and distinguished sanitary career took him to the Panama Canal Zone in 1904, where he served as Chief Quarantine Officer and Chief of Hospitals for five years. He also undertook detailed investigations and control measures of malaria in North Carolina and elsewhere in the South, and became a founder of the National Malaria Committee. With the support of the Rockefeller Foundation International Health Board, he undertook additional investigation and control measures for yellow fever in Central and South America. His expertise recommended him to the Peruvian government, which named Carter Sanitary Advisor in 1920-1921.\n","\nHealth problems at the end of his life compelled Carter to withdraw from active fieldwork, though he remained a highly valued consultant to the Health Board and a much-beloved and respected teacher for a new generation of sanitarians. Carter closed his career researching and writing the manuscript that his daughter, Laura Armistead Carter, edited and published posthumously in 1931: Yellow Fever: An Epidemiological and Historical Study of its Place of Origin.\n","Processed by: Historical Collections Staff Funding: Web version of the finding aid funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Finding aid by: Henry K. Sharp","Transfered 15 March 1983 from Alderman Special Collections. The collection was re-processed and entered into the Department's Manuscripts database (Access) in May of 2002. Processed by Henry K. Sharp of the Historical Collections and Services Department.","\nThe Carter Papers include correspondence relating to Carter's work on yellow fever and malaria as a surgeon in the Marine Health Service (later United States Public Health Service) and notes for drafts of his  Yellow Fever: An Epidemiological and Historical Study of its Place of Origin.  (Baltimore: The Williams and Wilkins Company, 1931). Included are photographs of and newspaper clippings about Carter, in addition to a small collection of reprints and publications by Carter and others. Also included is the correspondence of his daughter, Laura Armistead Carter with Frederick F. Russell and other members of the Rockefeller Foundation International Health Board, Wade Hampton Frost, of Johns Hopkins University, and others concerning her collaboration with Frost in the editing and publication of Carter's book. Also included are a series of eighteenth-century to mid-nineteenth-century documents principally belonging to Carter's great-grandfather, George Mason, of Spotsylvania and Caroline Counties, Virginia and to Mary Ann Brown, sister of Carter's mother.\n","Special Note: This collection should be consulted in conjunction with the Philip S.

He attended Aspen Hill Academy in Louisa County, Virginia, and completed studies there in 1868. After teaching in a boys school in Nelson County, Virginia, he entered the University of Virginia, where he earned proficiency certificates in Mineralogy and Geology, and in Physics, and a diploma from the School of Pure Mathematics in June of 1872. In July 1873, he earned diplomas from the Schools of General and Industrial Chemistry, Natural Philosophy, Applied Mathematics, and Civil Engineering. Subsequently Carter pursued an interest in Medicine, and he recieved an M.D. degree from the University of Maryland in March of 1879. That year he joined the Marine Hospital Service (later the United States Public Health Service) and over his career ascended through the ranks to become Assistant Surgeon General in 1915.\n","\nInitial postings with the Service took him to Cairo, Illinois -- where he met and married Laura Hook, of St. Louis, Missouri, on September 29, 1880 -- Memphis, Tennessee; San Francisco, California; and New Orleans, Louisiana. The Service detailed him as a quarantine officer to Ship Island, Mississippi in 1888, and here began his researches with yellow fever, which he would quickly refine to an extremely high level of expertise. Carter's thorough and methodical observations of the appearance and development of the disease proved critical to Dr. Walter Reed's landmark demonstration of the mosquito transmission of yellow fever in 1900. Assigned to Cuba in 1899, Carter's tour of duty overlapped with those of Reed and the other members of the famous United States Army Yellow Fever Commission, who were able to learn first-hand of Carter's most recent conclusions.\n","\nCarter's long and distinguished sanitary career took him to the Panama Canal Zone in 1904, where he served as Chief Quarantine Officer and Chief of Hospitals for five years.
