Book Description

Excerpt from Unpublished Letters of Dolly Madison to Anthony Morris Relating to the Nourse Family of the Highlands Dolly Madison's name, to this day, conjures up dreams of charm and loveliness beyond those of any other woman of her generation. She was fascinating in her youth and her exciting and delightful personality lasted down through the years. As the wife of the fourth president of the United States she was the acknowledged leader of the society of the new nation. In that period, many of the forms and Observances which had prevailed in the days of a court circle still lingered, and despite the rulings of a democratic con gress against titles savoring of royalty, she was often spoken of as Her Majesty, perhaps as much in tribute to her loveliness as a mark of respect for her position.
