Jack Kemp

Here is the acknowledgement of my email letter to the Mt. Vernon Ladies Assoc. that maintains the first President's home and has educational outreach via tours and the internet. I wrote them concerning St. Paul's Chapel's dismantling of the George Washington Pew in Lower Manhattan, where Pres. Washington went to pray about a half hour after being sworn into office in 1789.

The Mt. Vernon Ladies appear to be examining the importrance of the situation in New York and they are considering contacting the Trinity Church which oversees the St. Paul Chapel. So The Ladies Assoc. is considering their next move.

Here is a copy of their reply:

Dear Mr. Kemp,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern. I have shared your email with my colleagues in our Historic Preservation & Collections department, as they would be more aware of the status of an Washington-related artifact and if that necessitated any outreach to Trinity Church.

We appreciate the high regard you have for our Founding Father era and the importance of the history of our nation.

Many thanks,
Cheryl
