'Round these southern parts, Scott, we spell it "Potomac," though the
Injuns preferred something more like "Patowmack." But it's the same
rivuh.
Appreciation goes out to the Richmond Triumph Register people, who
turned out in droves. Ditto to all the MG'ers who made a strong showing.
The ultimate irony is that Woodlawn Plantation, with its nearness to Mt.
Vernon, is the former estate of Eleanor Parke Custis, grandaughter of
our first President. I hope she and he are at peace with having all
that British iron drive up on the lawn.

off this car are of the finest British workmanship."
