A.L.S. Endless repairs at Mount Vernon and difficulties in raising funds are disheartening. Disagrees with Regent's idea that publishing Mrs. Sweat's father's bequest of $500 would stimulate public's giving. No response from Knight Templars or Masons. Mary McMakin holds family reunions at Mount Vernon in winter. Gives her opinion of why Miss McMakin and mother were chosen to stay at Mount Vernon. Hopes Regent will adjust unfortunate affairs and an investigation be made. ER-17, p. 179
