In 1766, Franklin sold the firm to Hall, who formed a new firm, Hall and Sellers, with a journeyman printer, William Sellers. Hall died in 1772, and was succeeded by his sons, William and David, Jr. Publication was suspended from November, 1776 to February, 1777, when British invasion threatened, and from September, 1777 until January 1779, due to British occupation. Upon resumption of publication in 1779, the title was changed to Pennsylvania Gazette and Weekly Advertiser. Sellers died in 1804, and publication passed to William Hall, Jr., who took Samuel C. Atkinson as partner in 1816.

In 1766, Franklin sold the firm to Hall, who formed a new firm, Hall and Sellers, with a journeyman printer, William Sellers. Hall died in 1772, and was succeeded by his sons, William and David, Jr. Publication was suspended from November, 1776 to February, 1777, when British invasion threatened, and from September, 1777 until January 1779, due to British occupation. Upon resumption of publication in 1779, the title was changed to Pennsylvania Gazette and Weekly Advertiser. Sellers died in 1804, and publication passed to William Hall, Jr., who took Samuel C. Atkinson as partner in 1816. In May, 1821, Hall died and Atkinson continued publication, in September, 1821, changing the name to Saturday Evening Post and the character of the publication to more general and domestic interest.","Preceding titles: Bache's Philadelphia aurora.

Semi-weekly publication continued until May 23, 1840, when it merged with other Boston papers and eventually became the Boston Herald.","National Intelligencer, Washington, DC.\nSamuel Harrison Smith founded the National Intelligencer in 1800 as a weekly publication. Joseph Gales, the sole reporter for the U.S. Senate at the time, was hired in 1807 as reporter and became sole proprietor in 1810. In 1813, Gales took his brother-in-law, William Winston Seaton, as partner and reporter for the U.S. House of Representatives. Daily publication began in 1813, except for August 24-30, 1814, during the British army occupation. Gales and Seaton were selected as official reporters of Congress from 1819 to 1829 and published the \"Annals of Congress, 1798-1824,\" and \"Register of Debates, 1824-1837,\" the record of Congressional\ndebates of the time. Gales died in 1860, and Seaton retired in 1864. Final publication in Washington was on January 10, 1870; thereafter, weekly publication began in New York but ended in 1872.","Pennsylvania Packet/American Daily Advertiser, Philadelphia, PA.\nJohn Dunlap started weekly publication of the Pennsylvania Packet and the General Advertiser on October 28, 1771. Beginning September 21, 1784, the name was changed to Pennsylvania Packet and Daily Advertiser, reflecting the change to a daily publication. The name was then changed to Dunlap's American Daily Advertiser in 1791, Dunlap and Claypoole's American Daily Advertiser in 1793, and finally to Claypoole's American Daily Advertiser in 1796. However, in 1839, it was sold to Zachariah Poulson, who re-named it Poulson's American Daily Advertiser and continued publication until 1839, when he sold it to the founders of the North American, a predecessor of the Philadelphia Inquirer.","Pennsylvania Gazette, Philadelphia, PA.\nSamuel Keimer first published the Pennsylvania Gazette weekly beginning in 1728 and sold it to Benjamin Franklin and Hugh Meredith in 1729. Franklin dominated the partnership and by 1732 had purchased complete ownership. In 1743, Franklin invited David Hall of Scotland to join his as a printer and took him as a partner in 1848. In 1766, Franklin sold the firm to Hall, who formed a new firm, Hall and Sellers, with a journeyman printer, William Sellers. Hall died in 1772, and was succeeded by his sons, William and David, Jr. Publication was suspended from November, 1776 to February, 1777, when British invasion threatened, and from September, 1777 until January 1779, due to British occupation.

Gales and Seaton were selected as official reporters of Congress from 1819 to 1829 and published the \"Annals of Congress, 1798-1824,\" and \"Register of Debates, 1824-1837,\" the record of Congressional\ndebates of the time. Gales died in 1860, and Seaton retired in 1864. Final publication in Washington was on January 10, 1870; thereafter, weekly publication began in New York but ended in 1872.","Pennsylvania Packet/American Daily Advertiser, Philadelphia, PA.\nJohn Dunlap started weekly publication of the Pennsylvania Packet and the General Advertiser on October 28, 1771. Beginning September 21, 1784, the name was changed to Pennsylvania Packet and Daily Advertiser, reflecting the change to a daily publication. The name was then changed to Dunlap's American Daily Advertiser in 1791, Dunlap and Claypoole's American Daily Advertiser in 1793, and finally to Claypoole's American Daily Advertiser in 1796. However, in 1839, it was sold to Zachariah Poulson, who re-named it Poulson's American Daily Advertiser and continued publication until 1839, when he sold it to the founders of the North American, a predecessor of the Philadelphia Inquirer.","Pennsylvania Gazette, Philadelphia, PA.\nSamuel Keimer first published the Pennsylvania Gazette weekly beginning in 1728 and sold it to Benjamin Franklin and Hugh Meredith in 1729. Franklin dominated the partnership and by 1732 had purchased complete ownership. In 1743, Franklin invited David Hall of Scotland to join his as a printer and took him as a partner in 1848. In 1766, Franklin sold the firm to Hall, who formed a new firm, Hall and Sellers, with a journeyman printer, William Sellers. Hall died in 1772, and was succeeded by his sons, William and David, Jr. Publication was suspended from November, 1776 to February, 1777, when British invasion threatened, and from September, 1777 until January 1779, due to British occupation. Upon resumption of publication in 1779, the title was changed to Pennsylvania Gazette and Weekly Advertiser. Sellers died in 1804, and publication passed to William Hall, Jr., who took Samuel C. Atkinson as partner in 1816. In May, 1821, Hall died and Atkinson continued publication, in September, 1821, changing the name to Saturday Evening Post and the character of the publication to more general and domestic interest.","Preceding titles: Bache's Philadelphia aurora.

The purpose of the Association was to purchase Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, in order to restore the property and open the grounds to visitors and admirers who desired to see Washington's house and tomb. Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, saw the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two women of like mind together to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association. He preferred a sale to the State of Virginia or the federal government, both of which declined purchase. In 1858 he finally agreed to sell Mount Vernon to Ann Pamela Cunningham and the MVLA for $200,000. \nThe MVLA is the owner and executive board of Mount Vernon. Membership is made up of one Regent and 20-30 Vice Regents, each from a different state. All MVLA members assemble twice a year in April and October for Council, where they hear motions and reports concerning projects or issues at the estate. The Vice Regents also divide into committees focused on different functions and operations, and rotate members every few years. Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first organization dedicated to historic preservation in the United States, and as innovators in the field of preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of Mount Vernon, and educating people all over the world about George Washington's life and legacy. Mount Vernon is open to visitors 365 days a year. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion and tomb of Washington, but restored gardens, outbuildings, Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and orientation center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, food pavilion, and the Mount Vernon Inn restaurant. \nList of Regents of the MVLA: \n•\tAnn Pamela Cunningham, 1853-1874 resigned 1874, died 1875\n•\tLily Macalester Berghmans Laughton, 1874-1891, died 1891\n•\tJustine Van Rensselaer Townsend, 1891-1909, died 1912\n•\tHarriet Clayton Comegys, 1909-1927, died 1927\n•\tAlice Haliburton King Richards, 1927-1936, died 1936\n•\tHarriet Cole Towner, 1937-1942, died 1942\n•\tMary Vilas Hanks, 1943-1948, died 1959\n•\tHope Hodgman Harkness (formerly Hope H.

When possible, the original order of these files and their file names were kept during arrangement and description in this finding aid. All series in this collection are currently open-ended and small accruals will be added from time to time.

Types of material include correspondence, reports, memos, notes, personal and biographical information, news clippings, meeting agendas, photographs, scrapbooks, and ephemera. Several highlights of the collection include the original minutes of Council meetings, scrapbooks and ledgers created by Vice Regents, and early correspondence with Regents and Vice Regents. While the library's collection \"Early Records of the MVLA\" documents the founding and early years of the organization, the Papers of the MVLA continues where that collection ended and preserves the ongoing story of these women and the fulfillment of their mission. Creators of the collection are largely the board members themselves, along with staff and employees who worked directly with them. Scope notes have been added before the content list of each series to better describe its specific provenance and content. The bulk of the collection dates from the 1950s to the 1990s, however there is a very wide range represented overall, 1858-2016.","This series contains records created and collected by various committees within the MVLA. Correspondence, reports, and meeting agendas make up the majority of material.","Letter (copy) from Esther S. Fraser, Hall Tavern in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to assistant superintendent Charles Cecil Wall, August 1, 1934. Regarding analysis of Mount Vernon's wallpaper.","During the early 1980s, MVLA members agreed the process and procedures of Council needed to be updated. One suggestion made by Resident Director John Castellani was to create a notebook for each Council organized by schedule and activity. This resulted in the organized collection of reports, itineraries, minutes, and event plans for every Council, represented in these files. This practice continues, to some degree, up to the present time.","Original minutes taken for Council meetings, 1887-1994. The earliest versions were handwritten. Later copies were cleaned up and typed for preparation to be printed. Most of the minutes are loose papers in folders, but the years 1912 through 1927 are in bound/book form. Years 1928 through 1936 are in both formats, loose and bound.","A large majority of the Regent's Files contain correspondence to and from the Regent, sometimes organized by subject. Files for more recent Regents often contain event programs or invitations, speeches, clippings, reports, printed material, and other miscellaneous items. Letters to or from VIP guests or dignitaries have been noted when possible.","Includes RM-1024, MS-5652","This series contains records that were donated or transferred to the Library by a Vice Regent or their family members. These papers were often created by individual Vice Regents during the course of their duties as MVLA members, but were not held in files at Mount Vernon. Some folders may contain personal papers. A wide range of material is represented including correspondence, subject research files, reports, articles, printed material, memos, speeches, programs, invitations, memorabilia, and ephemera. Vice Regents often collected papers concerning specific projects or committees on which they worked.","Includes letters concerning Dodge's memoirs and the tree planted by the Prince of Wales.","Includes letters concerning the Anti-Fee Association and the Powel Coach.","Includes clippings on a Mount Vernon replica in New York and a visit to Mount Vernon by a British man.","Includes a Standard Guide map of Washington, D.C., \"Washington Visits to Rhode Island,\" \"George Washington and Rhode Island,\" and \"Autograph Letters and Documents of George Washington Now in Rhode Island Collections.\"","These files were kept by staff members at Mount Vernon, most often by the Secretary to the Board, to document the lives and work of individual Vice Regents. Some items were given directly by the Vice Regents to be placed in their files, while other documents were located or collected by staff and interfiled at a later time.

The purpose of the Association was to purchase Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, in order to restore the property and open the grounds to visitors and admirers who desired to see Washington's house and tomb. Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, saw the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two women of like mind together to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association. He preferred a sale to the State of Virginia or the federal government, both of which declined purchase. In 1858 he finally agreed to sell Mount Vernon to Ann Pamela Cunningham and the MVLA for $200,000. \nThe MVLA is the owner and executive board of Mount Vernon. Membership is made up of one Regent and 20-30 Vice Regents, each from a different state. All MVLA members assemble twice a year in April and October for Council, where they hear motions and reports concerning projects or issues at the estate. The Vice Regents also divide into committees focused on different functions and operations, and rotate members every few years. Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first organization dedicated to historic preservation in the United States, and as innovators in the field of preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of Mount Vernon, and educating people all over the world about George Washington's life and legacy. Mount Vernon is open to visitors 365 days a year. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion and tomb of Washington, but restored gardens, outbuildings, Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and orientation center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, food pavilion, and the Mount Vernon Inn restaurant. \nList of Regents of the MVLA: \n•\tAnn Pamela Cunningham, 1853-1874 resigned 1874, died 1875\n•\tLily Macalester Berghmans Laughton, 1874-1891, died 1891\n•\tJustine Van Rensselaer Townsend, 1891-1909, died 1912\n•\tHarriet Clayton Comegys, 1909-1927, died 1927\n•\tAlice Haliburton King Richards, 1927-1936, died 1936\n•\tHarriet Cole Towner, 1937-1942, died 1942\n•\tMary Vilas Hanks, 1943-1948, died 1959\n•\tHope Hodgman Harkness (formerly Hope H.

The purpose of the Association was to purchase Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, in order to restore the property and open the grounds to visitors and admirers who desired to see Washington's house and tomb. Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, saw the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two women of like mind together to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association. He preferred a sale to the State of Virginia or the federal government, both of which declined purchase. In 1858 he finally agreed to sell Mount Vernon to Ann Pamela Cunningham and the MVLA for $200,000. \nThe MVLA is the owner and executive board of Mount Vernon. Membership is made up of one Regent and 20-30 Vice Regents, each from a different state. All MVLA members assemble twice a year in April and October for Council, where they hear motions and reports concerning projects or issues at the estate. The Vice Regents also divide into committees focused on different functions and operations, and rotate members every few years. Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first organization dedicated to historic preservation in the United States, and as innovators in the field of preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of Mount Vernon, and educating people all over the world about George Washington's life and legacy. Mount Vernon is open to visitors 365 days a year. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion and tomb of Washington, but restored gardens, outbuildings, Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and orientation center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, food pavilion, and the Mount Vernon Inn restaurant. \nList of Regents of the MVLA: \n•\tAnn Pamela Cunningham, 1853-1874 resigned 1874, died 1875\n•\tLily Macalester Berghmans Laughton, 1874-1891, died 1891\n•\tJustine Van Rensselaer Townsend, 1891-1909, died 1912\n•\tHarriet Clayton Comegys, 1909-1927, died 1927\n•\tAlice Haliburton King Richards, 1927-1936, died 1936\n•\tHarriet Cole Towner, 1937-1942, died 1942\n•\tMary Vilas Hanks, 1943-1948, died 1959\n•\tHope Hodgman Harkness (formerly Hope H.

Types of material include correspondence, reports, memos, notes, personal and biographical information, news clippings, meeting agendas, photographs, scrapbooks, and ephemera. Several highlights of the collection include the original minutes of Council meetings, scrapbooks and ledgers created by Vice Regents, and early correspondence with Regents and Vice Regents. While the library's collection \"Early Records of the MVLA\" documents the founding and early years of the organization, the Papers of the MVLA continues where that collection ended and preserves the ongoing story of these women and the fulfillment of their mission. Creators of the collection are largely the board members themselves, along with staff and employees who worked directly with them. Scope notes have been added before the content list of each series to better describe its specific provenance and content. The bulk of the collection dates from the 1950s to the 1990s, however there is a very wide range represented overall, 1858-2016.","This series contains records created and collected by various committees within the MVLA. Correspondence, reports, and meeting agendas make up the majority of material.","Letter (copy) from Esther S. Fraser, Hall Tavern in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to assistant superintendent Charles Cecil Wall, August 1, 1934. Regarding analysis of Mount Vernon's wallpaper.","During the early 1980s, MVLA members agreed the process and procedures of Council needed to be updated. One suggestion made by Resident Director John Castellani was to create a notebook for each Council organized by schedule and activity. This resulted in the organized collection of reports, itineraries, minutes, and event plans for every Council, represented in these files. This practice continues, to some degree, up to the present time.","Original minutes taken for Council meetings, 1887-1994. The earliest versions were handwritten. Later copies were cleaned up and typed for preparation to be printed. Most of the minutes are loose papers in folders, but the years 1912 through 1927 are in bound/book form. Years 1928 through 1936 are in both formats, loose and bound.","A large majority of the Regent's Files contain correspondence to and from the Regent, sometimes organized by subject. Files for more recent Regents often contain event programs or invitations, speeches, clippings, reports, printed material, and other miscellaneous items. Letters to or from VIP guests or dignitaries have been noted when possible.","Includes RM-1024, MS-5652","This series contains records that were donated or transferred to the Library by a Vice Regent or their family members. These papers were often created by individual Vice Regents during the course of their duties as MVLA members, but were not held in files at Mount Vernon. Some folders may contain personal papers.

Established in 1785, George Washington was the first major investor as well as the first president of the company. And along with Thomas Johnson, Thomas Sim Lee, George Gilpin, and John Fitzgerald, he was appointed director of the company. The Potomac Navigation Company employed James Rumsey, inventor of the steamboat, to manage the mechanics of building the canals, Richardson Stewart as his assistant, and William Hartshorne as the treasurer.  They supervised hundreds of laborers, indentured servants, and slaves to build five canals surrounding major waterfalls in the area: House's, Shenandoah, Seneca, Little Falls and Great Falls.","Although supported by both the Virginia and Maryland Assemblies, the company was constantly plagued with difficulties and struggled to sell shares to interested buyers.  Water levels prevented boats from reaching their destinations, the company had difficulty securing loans, and the locks were in a constant state of repair; despite these hardships, by 1802 they had created 220 miles of navigable waterways between the Savage River and Washington, D.C.  By the 1820s, a proposal was passed to build a canal that would travel from Washington, D.C. and to the Ohio River; thus transforming the Potomac Navigation Company to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company.","The following manuscripts, reproduction files, and books relate to the formation or business of the Potomac Navigation Company.","Manuscripts:\n      Bill, Washer Blunt to Potomac Comp[any], 1786 March 20\t\n      Letter, Mount Vernon to Judge Michael Jenifer Stone, Charles County, Maryland, 1785 June 15\n      Letter, Blenhiem to George Washington, 1785 July 10\n      List of Workmen employed at the Shanandoah Falls from the 4th of August to the 26th of September 1787\n      List of Workmen at Great Falls 1787 April 11- May 12\n      Letter, Philadelphia, to Tobias Lear, 1794 December 12\n      Letter, Philadelphia to Tobias Lear, 1794 December 22\n      Drawing of an invention for raising and lowering boats over the Great Falls of the Potomac to avoid the construction of locks\n      Letter, Germantown to William Pearce, 1794 August 17\n      Letter, Philadelphia to Tobias Lear, 1795 December 26\n      Letter, Philadelphia to [Tobias Lear], 1795 February 18\n      Newspaper Article, George Washington's arrival in Georgetown for a meeting with fellow business associates of the \"Potowmack Co.\" \n      Newspaper Article, George Washington's arrival in Georgetown for a meeting with fellow business associates of the \"Potowmack Co.\" \n      Book of Sales and Mount Vernon Property, 1800-1803\n      Letter, George Town to George Corbin Washington, 1828 May 7\n      Certificate to Fielding Lewis, 1828 June 3\n      Bond, George C.

The Potomac Navigation Company employed James Rumsey, inventor of the steamboat, to manage the mechanics of building the canals, Richardson Stewart as his assistant, and William Hartshorne as the treasurer.  They supervised hundreds of laborers, indentured servants, and slaves to build five canals surrounding major waterfalls in the area: House's, Shenandoah, Seneca, Little Falls and Great Falls.","Although supported by both the Virginia and Maryland Assemblies, the company was constantly plagued with difficulties and struggled to sell shares to interested buyers.  Water levels prevented boats from reaching their destinations, the company had difficulty securing loans, and the locks were in a constant state of repair; despite these hardships, by 1802 they had created 220 miles of navigable waterways between the Savage River and Washington, D.C.

Established in 1785, George Washington was the first major investor as well as the first president of the company. And along with Thomas Johnson, Thomas Sim Lee, George Gilpin, and John Fitzgerald, he was appointed director of the company. The Potomac Navigation Company employed James Rumsey, inventor of the steamboat, to manage the mechanics of building the canals, Richardson Stewart as his assistant, and William Hartshorne as the treasurer.  They supervised hundreds of laborers, indentured servants, and slaves to build five canals surrounding major waterfalls in the area: House's, Shenandoah, Seneca, Little Falls and Great Falls.","Although supported by both the Virginia and Maryland Assemblies, the company was constantly plagued with difficulties and struggled to sell shares to interested buyers.  Water levels prevented boats from reaching their destinations, the company had difficulty securing loans, and the locks were in a constant state of repair; despite these hardships, by 1802 they had created 220 miles of navigable waterways between the Savage River and Washington, D.C.  By the 1820s, a proposal was passed to build a canal that would travel from Washington, D.C. and to the Ohio River; thus transforming the Potomac Navigation Company to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company.","The following manuscripts, reproduction files, and books relate to the formation or business of the Potomac Navigation Company.","Manuscripts:\n      Bill, Washer Blunt to Potomac Comp[any], 1786 March 20\t\n      Letter, Mount Vernon to Judge Michael Jenifer Stone, Charles County, Maryland, 1785 June 15\n      Letter, Blenhiem to George Washington, 1785 July 10\n      List of Workmen employed at the Shanandoah Falls from the 4th of August to the 26th of September 1787\n      List of Workmen at Great Falls 1787 April 11- May 12\n      Letter, Philadelphia, to Tobias Lear, 1794 December 12\n      Letter, Philadelphia to Tobias Lear, 1794 December 22\n      Drawing of an invention for raising and lowering boats over the Great Falls of the Potomac to avoid the construction of locks\n      Letter, Germantown to William Pearce, 1794 August 17\n      Letter, Philadelphia to Tobias Lear, 1795 December 26\n      Letter, Philadelphia to [Tobias Lear], 1795 February 18\n      Newspaper Article, George Washington's arrival in Georgetown for a meeting with fellow business associates of the \"Potowmack Co.\" \n      Newspaper Article, George Washington's arrival in Georgetown for a meeting with fellow business associates of the \"Potowmack Co.\" \n      Book of Sales and Mount Vernon Property, 1800-1803\n      Letter, George Town to George Corbin Washington, 1828 May 7\n      Certificate to Fielding Lewis, 1828 June 3\n      Bond, George C.

Established in 1785, George Washington was the first major investor as well as the first president of the company. And along with Thomas Johnson, Thomas Sim Lee, George Gilpin, and John Fitzgerald, he was appointed director of the company. The Potomac Navigation Company employed James Rumsey, inventor of the steamboat, to manage the mechanics of building the canals, Richardson Stewart as his assistant, and William Hartshorne as the treasurer.  They supervised hundreds of laborers, indentured servants, and slaves to build five canals surrounding major waterfalls in the area: House's, Shenandoah, Seneca, Little Falls and Great Falls.","Although supported by both the Virginia and Maryland Assemblies, the company was constantly plagued with difficulties and struggled to sell shares to interested buyers.  Water levels prevented boats from reaching their destinations, the company had difficulty securing loans, and the locks were in a constant state of repair; despite these hardships, by 1802 they had created 220 miles of navigable waterways between the Savage River and Washington, D.C.  By the 1820s, a proposal was passed to build a canal that would travel from Washington, D.C. and to the Ohio River; thus transforming the Potomac Navigation Company to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company.","The following manuscripts, reproduction files, and books relate to the formation or business of the Potomac Navigation Company.","Manuscripts:\n      Bill, Washer Blunt to Potomac Comp[any], 1786 March 20\t\n      Letter, Mount Vernon to Judge Michael Jenifer Stone, Charles County, Maryland, 1785 June 15\n      Letter, Blenhiem to George Washington, 1785 July 10\n      List of Workmen employed at the Shanandoah Falls from the 4th of August to the 26th of September 1787\n      List of Workmen at Great Falls 1787 April 11- May 12\n      Letter, Philadelphia, to Tobias Lear, 1794 December 12\n      Letter, Philadelphia to Tobias Lear, 1794 December 22\n      Drawing of an invention for raising and lowering boats over the Great Falls of the Potomac to avoid the construction of locks\n      Letter, Germantown to William Pearce, 1794 August 17\n      Letter, Philadelphia to Tobias Lear, 1795 December 26\n      Letter, Philadelphia to [Tobias Lear], 1795 February 18\n      Newspaper Article, George Washington's arrival in Georgetown for a meeting with fellow business associates of the \"Potowmack Co.\" \n      Newspaper Article, George Washington's arrival in Georgetown for a meeting with fellow business associates of the \"Potowmack Co.\" \n      Book of Sales and Mount Vernon Property, 1800-1803\n      Letter, George Town to George Corbin Washington, 1828 May 7\n      Certificate to Fielding Lewis, 1828 June 3\n      Bond, George C.

The Association is composed of one Regent and 20-30 Vice Regents who serve as the executive board of this historic home. Each Vice Regent represents a different state and is responsible for fundraising and establishing interest in Mount Vernon within their state. They also make all major decisions concerning preservation, collections, visitor experience, maintenance, and finances at Mount Vernon. The MVLA does not receive any government funding and relies solely on ticket sales and donations to continue operating the site as a tourist destination.","The Regent and Vice Regents assemble twice a year in April and October for Council, their bi-annual meetings, where they hear motions and reports concerning projects or issues at the estate. The Vice Regents also divide into committees focused on different functions and operations that rotate members every few years. Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first national organization dedicated to historic preservation in the United States, and as innovators in the field of preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of Mount Vernon, and educating people all over the world about George Washington's life and legacy. Mount Vernon is open to visitors 365 days a year. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion and tomb of Washington, but restored gardens, outbuildings, Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and orientation center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, food pavilion, and the Mount Vernon Inn restaurant.","Note: See end of Series 1. for Box 23-24 oversize content list","-\tPapers of the Superintendent or Resident Director\n-\tPapers of the MVLA\n-\tSuperintendent's Letter Books, Diaries, and Monthly Reports\n-\tPapers of James Rees\n-\tCouncil Minutes and Annual Reports of the MVLA\n-\tPublications and Printed Material of the MVLA\n-\tDevelopment Files","This collection holds the historic financial records of the MVLA including accounting ledgers, tax documents, insurance papers, receipts, invoices, payroll lists, annual and quarterly budgets, financial statements and reports, policies, contracts, correspondence, and other miscellaneous items.

Each Vice Regent represents a different state and is responsible for fundraising and establishing interest in Mount Vernon within their state. They also make all major decisions concerning preservation, collections, visitor experience, maintenance, and finances at Mount Vernon. The MVLA does not receive any government funding and relies solely on ticket sales and donations to continue operating the site as a tourist destination.","The Regent and Vice Regents assemble twice a year in April and October for Council, their bi-annual meetings, where they hear motions and reports concerning projects or issues at the estate. The Vice Regents also divide into committees focused on different functions and operations that rotate members every few years. Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first national organization dedicated to historic preservation in the United States, and as innovators in the field of preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of Mount Vernon, and educating people all over the world about George Washington's life and legacy. Mount Vernon is open to visitors 365 days a year. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion and tomb of Washington, but restored gardens, outbuildings, Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and orientation center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, food pavilion, and the Mount Vernon Inn restaurant."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Name and date of item], Financial Records of the MVLA, Archives of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, Fred W.
