The Youth of Washington : Told in the Form of an Autobiography (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Youth of Washington: Told in the Form of an Autobiography

As I was silent for a little, this gentleman, who became my aide-de-camp in June, 1780, and for whom I conceived a warm and last ing affection, thinking his remark might have been considered a liberty, said as much, excusing himself.

I replied that, so far from annoying me, I found what he had to say interesting.

When, recently, these remarks of Colo nel Tilghman recurred to me, I felt that they were correct, and dwelling upon them at this remote time, my interest in the se quenes of the events of my youthful life assumed an importance which has led me of late to endeavour, with the aid of my diaries, to refresh my memories of a past which had long ceased to engage my at tention.
