- Creator:
- Sweat, Margaret J.M. (Margaret Jane Mussey), 1823-1908
- Scope and content:
-
A.L.S. Letter adhered to larger sheets - cut from a scrapbook. Portland. A contradiction of charges made by The Boston Globe against the MVLA. Feels that in the face of several hostile attacks upon the Association she ought not to remain silent. It was necessary for MVLA to charge admission to Mount Vernon to keep up the estate. The MVLA has never done anything to destroy the integrity of the Mansion nor will it. They cannot furnish house exactly as it was since they hold few original pieces. Defends the ladies in their efforts against charges of being incompetent and unreasonable.
