_Longevity_ (Vol. viii., p. 182.).--A DOUBTER is informed that the
_National Intelligencer_ (published at Washington, and edited by Messrs.
Gales and Seaton) is the authority for my statement respecting Mrs.
Singleton, and her advanced age. If A DOUBTER is desirous of satisfying
himself more fully respecting its correctness, he has but {400} to write to
the above-named gentlemen, or to the English Consul at Charleston, S. C.,
and his wish will doubtless be gratified. I cannot but hope that your
correspondent's "fifty cents worth of reasons" for doubting my statement is
now, or shortly will be, removed.
If A DOUBTER intends to be in New York while the present Exhibition is
open, he will have an opportunity of seeing a negro of the age of _one
hundred and twenty-four_, who once belonged to General Washington, and from
whom he could very possibly obtain some information respecting the aged
"nurse" of the first President of the United States mentioned in his note.
