Of Mrs. Polk he speaks in high
terms, saying that she is "a lady
of wonderful mina, exalted char
acter and most charming man-
ners." fie says" she seems as
young in manner and vigor of
intellect as he remembers her
to have been when he knew her
in Washington forty years ago."
She was indeed a stately, hand
