- W2327204446 abstract "S INCE I907, Washington and Lee University has preserved among its records a number of loose leaves George Washington's handwriting. We are concerned here with forty-two disbound leaves once part of a folio ledger. Unpaginated, assembled no rational sequence, badly dampand mold-stained, and without surviving remnant of endpapers or binding, the leaves have defied previous attempts at identification and use. Douglas Southall Freeman described them the annotation of his George Washington as odd sheets of Custis accounts of widely varying dates and in part illegible, without citing them his text.' After arranging the leaves their correct sequence, we discovered that they make up the complete ledger which George Washington preserved copies of reports and accounts submitted to the General Court during his administration of Daniel Parke Custis's estate and his guardianship of its heirs, from I759 to I773. The value of the ledger is enhanced by the loss of all General Court records the Richmond fire of i865. Although the leaves are, as Freeman said, in part illegible, we found that nearly their entire numerical and most of their verbal text can be recovered. In due course all or the greater part of this newly identified ledger will be published the Papers of George Washington, now progress at the University of Virginia. The Washington and Lee ledger was originally part of the collection of" @default.
