Summary: In 1832, a group of girls in a school operated by the British-born organist of St James Episcopal Church in Lancaster were disappointed that the school was not planning to honor George Washington's birthday with a day off from school. The girls appealed to Bishop Bowman, the rector of St James Episcopal. In response, the Bishop wrote a short poem honoring Washington. The girls signed the poem, presented it to the school, and had their day off.

As these letters throw additional light on the noble character of Pennsylvania's only President, and as they correct some false impressions about him, it seems but just ththat they should be given wider publicity."
