On one occasion he asked the bank to defer payment of a note for ?fi5 and in 1831 he applied to the Bank of the United States for a loan of 512, (XX) in order to finance a trip to France. There he proposed to go to obtain from Lafayette ail of his Revolutionary war papers and his personal recollections of Washington for a bonk on The Private Memoirs of the Life and Character of Washington which Custis proposed to write. Besides aspiring to be the biographer of his adopted father, Custis also had ambitions as a painter, a poet and a playwright. As the latter he wrote such productions as Launch of Columbia, or Our Blue Jackets Forever," National Dream of Pocahontas, of the First Settlers of Virginia, and an operetta called The Railroad. Pocahontas" was played in Charleston and Columbia, S. C., and The Railroad was produced at the Old National theater in Washington and also ran for seven nights In Baltimore.

On April 22, 1SG1, Colonel and Mrs. Lee left Arlington for Richmond, where he immediately entered the military service, first of Virginia and later of the Confed- eracy. From the date of their departure Arlington was occupied only by servants and soon afterwards a force of Union troops commanded by Colonel Helntzelnmn took charge of It. First Burials After the first battle of Bull Run, McDowells army entrenched itself on Arlington Heights; the mansion was occupied by officers, soldiers were encamped on its grounds and two strong forts were built there for the defense of Washington. After the battles of the Wilderness, Quartermaster Gen. M. C. Meigs ordered burial at Arlington for all the death of his grandmother, Marsoldiers dying In the military hospitha Washington, on May 22, 1802, tals In and around Waslilngton. The official records of such burials begin with May 13, 186-1- so Arlington has been a burial place of soldier s dead for nearly of a century. When the bodies of the unknown soldier dead, buried between the Potomac and the Rappahannock, were reinterred In Arlington it brought the total of Civil war burials there to 10,000. As for the process by which Arlington became a national cemetery, it came about in this way: In 1802, by act of congress, a property tax Writer of Melodrama was levied In all the states for the Pocahontas was criticized as be- conduct of the war. Tills tax totaled ing too melodramatic and Custis ?02 for the Arlington property, and, wrote to a friend: Melodrama Is all since It was unpaid, the property the go now, and even in historieuf was ordered sold on JanuaTy 11, plays you must sprinkle show and 1SG-- The government was empowpageant and things to please the ered to hid the property in and to Parke Custis George Washington senses as well ns the judgment. . . . use It for educational and military he was continually under her guid- Tlie play is in London in the hands purposes.

Following the death of his grandmother, he made his home for two years with his sister, who had married Maj. Lawrence Lewis. In 1S02, in anticipation of his own marriage to Mary Lee Fitzhugh he began building Arlington mansion, or Lee mansion, as It later was called. To this house, designed after the Temple of Theseus in Athens, Greece, bride he brought his sixteen-year-olin 1801 and for the next half century the Sage of Arlington, as he became known, was a leading figure in the life of the national capital.
