    Excellent that he was never found / returned. With the ability to read and write - in a time when many did not - he could easily reinvent himself, maybe start a business or be a valued employee. Now I am curious, is there any other history/archival documents, information about John Harris?

    My love of fiber work, and all things wool began at Colonial Williamsburg when I was 10. I met a charming man, Mr. Norman Kennedy, and he included me in a wool waulking event. 32 years on, I’m a hand spinner, weaver, knitter, and dyer. I love passion on the history of the why along with the how, and volunteer now with one of CW’s partner locations for sheep in Delaware. 💜

    This reminds me of the movie, The Miniaturist, which i've never seen, but did watch the trailer. I believe it takes place in Amsterdam in 1686. All the rage for the wealthy is owning doll houses that they elaborately decorate with miniatures.

    Having grown up near Yorktown, which is close to Colonial Williamsburg & Jamestown, we were fortunate to have wonderful & educational school trips. We once took a day trip to DC when i was in 8th grade, as it was only three hours from us. I'm a avid history fan & will be subscribing to this channel, which i came across.

    I believe they loved one another, but more like a brother, sister kind of love. It was never a lusty, romantic relationship. They were compatible, she was what he needed in a wife and he was what she needed in a husband. She was a great support for him during the war. One of the things that led me to this conclusion was this. GW was selling some of his furniture at the end of his presidency. He sold his writing desk to a friend named Eliza Powell. A Philadelphia socialite, one of the people that talked GW into doing a second term. In the writing desk she found a stack of unopened letters Martha had written to George. She tripled sealed the letters and along with a letter of her own she sent them back to GW. In her letter she stated how she had found the letters and tripled sealed them against prying eyes as well as assuring him she had not peaked as she assumed the missives were love letters. GW wrote back to her thanking her but he added (and I'm paraphrasing) that anyone reading the letters that Martha sent to him would be sorely disappointed in that the letters would only be of friendship, there would be no romance or carnal lust
