Mitchell, Martha Reed, 1818-1902
Scope and content:

A.L.S. Thinks newspaper article criticizing Mount Vernon was written by some of the Superintendent's visitors or under his knowledge. He spent money recklessly, he seems to have "lost that character of manliness and self respect…either by illness or never being what we fancied him." Need for close, accurate accounting. No improvements this year and Association is in debt. Borrowed from "sinking fund" which is sacred. Hollingsworth has lost his memory, cannot do his own writing, employs incompetents. ER-18, p. 273
