Thatcher received the letter from his uncle Rear Admiral Henry Knox Thatcher a member of the Soof the Cincinnati by whom the ciety I Authorship of Washington’s Farewell Address HERE does not seem to have been any unity of belief regarding the authorship of Washington’s farewell address among some historians of the earlier and much of the same confusion has resulted from the various and contradictory statements regarding Washington’s retirement from life A page from a letter written to James Madison by Washington In May 1792 i? to some extent an answer to some 6f the statements which have been made from time to time When all the facts In the case are arranged there does not appear to be any mystery surrounding either the retirement of Washington or of the authorship of the historic address Briefly as the letter quoted In facsimile indicates Washington had decided to retire from public life before the tide of opposition to him had set in and had determined to prepare-wha- t he himself entitles a valedictory adIt is probable that no quesdress tion regarding the authorship of the address would ever have arisen had not the untimely death of Hamilton who was slain in the duel with Burr thrown his private papers into the hands of persons who were not apprised of all the facts in the case They or some friends of Hamilton about the middle of the last century happened upon a draft of the address in the handwriting of Hamilton and Immediately spread the intelligence that Washington’s secretary of the treasury was the real author of the paper Some historians having in mind the to Washington wave of opposition which arose during his first term of office and which became more bitter during his second term have intimated that the retirement of the first president was merely the act of a epistle had been treasured as one of his most precious possessions The Thatcher family Is of old New Thatcher’s island at England stock the end of Cape Ann known by all mariners for its two huge lighthouses was named for one of the family Samuel Thatcher grandfather of Mr O D Thatcher was for many years the oldest graduate of Harvard the oldest Mason and the oldest former member of congress Mount Auburn cemetery on the outskirts of Boston was the old TfcAtcher farm settled by passengers of the Mayflower man who saw that he had lost his popularity and had enough common sense not to linger w'here he had become unendurable In 1792 Washington still was the popular idol There has been no disagreement on that score among the historians and it was on May 20 of that year during this period of good will that the Father of His Country decided to retire from public life It was also at this time that he was devising in his mind a dignified method of making this withdrawal The letter was among Madison's papers at his death and some years ago was sold at auction in New York bringing 11325 and passing into the collection of one of the New York collectors There is nothing in this letter to indicate that Washington retired from public life on account of his unpopularity and if it were necessary would show that Hamilton was not the author of the valedictory address Madison appealed to In the letter Just quoted did find time to draw up such an address as Washington indicated This was submitted to the president and the latter prepared a paper from it This copy he submitted to Jay at that time chief Justice of the United States supreme court and to Alexander Hamilton the secretary of the treasury In forwarding the paper to Hamilton Washington wrote: “Even if you should think it best to throw the whole into a different form let me suggest notwithstanding that my draught may be returned to me (along with yours) with such amendments and corrections as to render it as perfect as the formation Is susceptible of curtailed if too verbose and relieved of all not necessary to enforce the tautology ideas in the original or quoted part My wish is that the whole may appear in a plain and be style handed to the in an honest unaffected simple public part” Hamilton prepared a draft which Washington said he preferred to others submitted to him It was mainly a change in form but Hamilton’s paper is said to have differed much from the original This draft was followed by Washington who wrote the address and then submitted the new production to Pickering McHenry and Wolcott These made few changes and these are said to have been as Pickering has recorded "regarding chiefly the grammar and composition” Although the first letter to Madison on the subject bears the date of May 20 1792 the farewell address was not given to the people until September 19 1796 TESTED SEEDS —Commercial MOHLER BARBER COLLEGE Salt
