If you don't have a front-loading washing machine, go to the laundromat. Down comforters become heavy and bulky with water and can damage the balance of top-loading washing machines. Comforters can also become tangled and rip in washing machines that are too small.
Martha Washington died with a high fever of 105.3 and heart failure. She died at age 70, on May 22, 1802. She was depressed after George died and more of less wasted away.
At the end of 1758, Washington resigned his military commission. On January 6, 1759, less than ten months after their initial meeting and less than eighteen months after her husbandâs death, Martha Dandridge Custis married George Washington at her home in New Kent County. For both Martha and for George, a new era had dawned. **Martha Custis to Robert Cary and Company, 1758 in âWorthy Partnerâ: The Papers of Martha Washington, ed. Joseph E. Fields (Westport, Ct.: Greenwood Press, 1994), 25-26.
