Ever called Martha Washington martha. She was always called patsy as Lady Bird Johnson was never called claudia. So i was just wondering, you mentioned in his letters when he referred to her in his letter that it was just mentioned on the telephone that he did call her patsy. And i also wanted to mention that in the story that im reading about martha and George Washington that the house, mt.
