From Wikipedia: "Eleanor Parke Custis Lewis (March 31, 1779 July 15, 1852), known as Nelly, was the granddaughter of Martha Washington and the step-granddaughter of George Washington. During George Washington's presidency, Nelly helped entertain guests at the first presidential mansion in New York City, the second presidential mansion also in New York City, and the third presidential mansion in Philadelphia. On February 22, 1799, Nelly Custis married George Washington's nephew, the widower Lawrence Lewis, of Fredericksburg, Virginia. Throughout her life, she regarded herself as a preserver of George Washington's legacy. She shared memories and mementos, entertained and corresponded with those seeking information on the first president, and verified or debunked stories. She is buried at Mount Vernon in an enclosure adjacent to George and Martha Washington's tomb." Very good. Signed by previous owner. Cover has slight wear and soiling. B/w (ilustrador).…
