They sent to Alexandria for a coffin and Dr.Dick measured the body, which he found to be exactly six feet three and one half inches in length.

The family vault was on the slope of the hill, a little to the south of the house.

Mrs.
Washington desired that a door should be made for the vault instead of having it closed up as formerly, after the body should be deposited, observing that "it will soon be necessary to open it again." Mourning clothes were prepared for the family and servants.

The ceremony took place on Wednesday.

There were many troops.
