Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Forty Years of Washington Society During the first forty years of its existence the city of Washington had a society, more definite and real than it has come to have in later days. The permanent resi dents, although appurtenant to the changing official ele ment, nevertheless furnished the framework which the larger and more important social life used to build upon, and the result was a structure of society tolerably com pact and pleasing and certainly interesting. It was emphatically official, but it did not include the lower class officials, who found their recreation for the most part at the street resorts, and its tone was dignified and whole some. At any rate, it was genuine and national, even if it was crude, and the day of the all-powerful rich man and his dominance in social life had not yet arrived.

FORTY YEARS OF WASHINGTON SOCIETY TO MRS. KIRKPATRICK Sunday evening, Nov. 16, 1800. . . . . I thought I was coming into a land of strangers; but with a husband so beloved, I hesitated not to leave the kindest of fathers and the most indulgent of friends. But, here in Mrs. Bell, have I met with a mother, for sure no daughter could be treated with more affection; in Miss Thornhill and Eliza, sisters, and in Mr. English a most attentive brother. In Mr. and Mrs. Law, Cap. and Mrs. Tingey,1 Mr. and Mrs. Otis, Dr. and Mrs. Thornton,2 social and agreeable companions. In my last letter I mentioned that Mrs. Bell was to drink tea with me; the family all came and in my chamber, which I assure you looked very smart, we passed an agreeable afternoon and they were treated with my wedding cake. Mrs. B. brought with her a large basket of sweet potatoes and some fine cabbages. Mr. St. Gemme,1 a French gentleman of reduced fortunes, accompanied her; he teaches Eliza french and drawing, and from a piece he painted, certainly possesses much taste and delicacy. I found him so agreeable that I asked him to repeat his visit. Tuesday was a most delightful day, and Mr. S. and myself sallied forth. Between Capt. Tingey and us, there extends a plain of near half a mile, the ground is elevated and commands a most beautiful view of the Eastern Branch. I will not say we walked along this, the elasticity of the air had given such elasticity to my spirits that I could not walk. On reaching the house, we were received in a very friendly way; altho' we had so long neglected returning the visits of this family. The Capt. was not at home; we sat more than an hour with the ladies; Mrs. T. is a good kind of a woman, and tho' not very agreeable, yet she appears ve

This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 1778, Margaret Bayard Smith was a highly intellectual woman "read widely in the classics, sciences, and literature" according to The Papers of Thomas Jefferson. Despite her capabilities, she was confined to a role of domesticity as was the practice of the time, but she used that role to befriend many of the prominent political families of Washington D.C., eventually becoming regular guests at Jefferson's white house and the home of James and Dolley Madison, among others. She outlined many of these relationships and her thoughts on the budding politics of D.C. in letters to her sisters, kept by her son, then eventually passed on to her grandson, and now belong to the library of congress. They give a fascinating point of view of Washington society and it's up and coming politicians from a woman who had a front row seat to its workings.
