Washington Letter on White House Life and Centennial Memorial
A Washington letter from March 9, 1878, discusses White House social life during Lent, Mrs. Hayes hosting visitors, and gas lighting in the conservatories. It notes Jay Gould and the railroad lobby at Arlington Hotel, plans to expand Corcoran’s hotel, and a government funded barber service for members of Congress. It describes the Centennial Memorial document shown in Philadelphia with rich heraldic details and marks for the 1876 celebration, including signatures and the Great Seal, and mentions House actions regarding the memorial and related proceedings.
