| Transcript | To Rebecca Irvine From George Hayes Farrelly New Y [New York?] City Feb 15 1896 [Dear?] Aunt: When I wrote you last I was at Washington the next morning I went through the National Museum where I saw a Washington Uniform and other souvenirs of Washington, Lincoln & [Grant?] I went through the Smithsonian Institute and then went over to the Washinton Monument and walked to the top of it as the elevator was not running The Officer there said It was 898 steps to the top landing, 500 feet The monument is 555 feet high I left Washington at 11.30 am Friday morning on the B & ORR and arrived here at 5.20 PM and took the elevated road up Town Mrs Nellie [Healy?] was in here today and said to give you her love. She looks natural and I do not think she has changed such a great deal she had her daughter Bella with her. The folks here are all well. Your loving nephew George Transcribed by Darren Laird |
