During the United States's second war with Great Britain,
before the British set fire to public buildings in Washington,
D.C, the president's wife saved a significant portrait of the
nation's first president George Washington.
adapted from Letter from Dolley Madison, First Lady of the
United States, to Her Sister
August 23, 1814
My husband left me yesterday morning to join General
Winder. He Inquired anxiously whether I had courage or
firmness to remain in the President's house until his return on
the morrow, or succeeding day, and on my assurance that I had
no fear but for him, and the success of our army, he left,
beseeching me to take care of myself, and of the Cabinet
papers, public and private. I have since received two dispatches
from him, written with a pencil. The last is alarming, because he
desires I should be ready at a moment's warning to enter my
carriage and leave the city, because the enemy seemed strong
than had at first been reported, and it might happen that they
would reach the city with the intention of destroying it. I am
accordingly ready as I have pressed as many Cabinet papers
into trunks as to fill one carriage; our private property must be
sacrificed, as it is impossible to procure wagons for its
transportation.
Three o'clock. Will you believe it, my sister? We have had a
battle, or skirmish, near Bladensburg, and here I am still, within
sound of the cannon! Mr. Madison comes not. Two messengers,
covered with dust, come to bid me fly, but here I mean to wait
for him. At this late hour a wagon has been procured, and I
have had it filled with the most valuable portable articles
