One month later on January 19, 1800 Elizabeth "Eliza" Wadsworth of Portland, wrote to her father, Peleg Wadsworh, a Congressman in Philadelphia, "Papa I will tell you what I want-more than anything I think of at present - it is a scrap of General Washington's hand writing...perhaps his name...I should value it very highly."
