Issue of monthly newsletter of the Washington Memorial Chapel in Valley Forge, PA. Content Summary: New exhibits in the Valley Forge Museum of American History included relics from Dr. Alfred H.

Engravings presented to the Chapel depict significant historical events, such as the British surrender at Yorktown. Plans for an upper drive in the Washington Memorial Cemetery were approved, enhancing the property. Lots along the new driveway were priced at $200, with some sold and others under consideration.
