With very great esteem, I am, Dear Sir, Your Most Ovient. Serv. Tobias Lear", Very FinernSo much has been written about George Washington that we needn't summarize it here but just throw out a few obscurities: he had no middle name, had only a grade school education, one of his actions in the Virginia militia spawned the French and Indian Wars, is the only President to go into battle as President (in 1794), he was an honorary citizen of France, he owned a profitable whiskey distillery at Mount Vernon. rnThe addressee, Andrew Ellicott (1754-1820), Ellicott first worked as a surveyor in 1784, helping to determine the boundary between Virginia and Maryland. President Washington commissioned Ellicott in 1790 to survey the boundary of the newly established Federal Territory on the Potomac. In 1801, he refused an appointment as Surveyor General of the United States because he preferred field work to being an administrator. He accepted an appointment in 1813 as professor of mathematics at the United States Military Academy at West Point, a position which he held until his death in 1820. (Image)

As with both Washington and Jefferson, Madison left the presidency a poorer man than when he entered, due to the steady financial collapse of his plantation, which was aided by the continued low price of tobacco and his stepson's mismanagement.rnThe addressee, Rev. William B. Sprague (1795-1876), was an American Presbyterian clergyman and author. He is the author of the nine-volume work "Annals of the Pulpit of All Denominations", a comprehensive biographical dictionary of American Protestant ministers up to 1850.
