tailieunhanh - Dorothy Payne, Quakeress

There is little time in this busy world of ours for reading,--little, indeed, for thinking;--and there are already many books; but perhaps these few additional pages relating to Dolly Madison, who was loved and honored during so many years by our people, may be not altogether amiss. During eleven administrations she was the intimate friend of our presidents and their families. What a rare privilege was hers--to be at home in the families of Washington, of Jefferson, of Madison, of Monroe; to know intimately Hamilton and Burr and Clay and Webster; to live so close, during her long life, to the heart of our nation;. | Dorothy Payne Quakeress by Ella Kent Barnard 1 Dorothy Payne Quakeress by Ella Kent Barnard The Project Gutenberg EBook of Dorothy Payne Quakeress by Ella Kent Barnard This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
