Letter from George Washington to Representative James Madison Regarding Plans for His Arrival in New York City for the Inauguration
Record Group 59: General Records of the Department of StateSeries: Letters ReceivedFile Unit: January THRU June 1789
Mount Vernon Mach 30th 1789    67
My dear Sir,
I have been favored with your letter of the 19th by which it appears that a quoram of Congress was hardly to be expected before the beginning of the [next?] week.  As this delay must be very irksome to the attending members, & every days continuance of it (before the government is in [illegible] be more sensibly felt.  I am resolved, none shall proceed from me that can not be avoided (after notice of the election is announced)and therefore I take the liberty of requesting the favor of you to engage a lodging for me previous to my arrival.  Mr Lear who has already lived with me three years as a private secretary, will accompany, preceed me in the stage - and (7) Colo Humphreys, I presume, will be of my Party & Mr Lear.  On the subject of those lodgings, I will be frankly declare to you that I mean to go into none, but hired ones.  If these cannot be had, tolerably convenient (then I shall not be nice about them).  I would take Rooms in the most decent Tavern, till such time as house <s>shall</s> can be provided for the reception more permanent of the President.  I have already declined a very polite & pressing invitation from the Governor, to lodge at his house till a place <s>can</s> could be prepared for me; after which should any other offers of a similar nature be made  &  then could be no propensity in my acceptance of it.  But as you <s>know</s> are fully acquainted with my sentiments on this lead, I shall only add that as I mean to avoid private families on the one hand so on another I am not anxious to be placed, <u>early</u> in a situation for entertaining; for which reason private lodgings till I can feel the way a little would not only be more agreeable to my own wishes, but, more consistent, possibly with the principles of sound policy.  For as it is my intention to conform to the public desire & expectation, with respect to the <s>proper</s> style [illegible] for the President to live in, it might be then to know what those are before he enters upon it.  After all something may perhaps have been decided upon before this shall have reached you that may make the request negatory.  If otherwise I will only in one word say that my wish is to be placed in an independent situation <s>with a view to what</s> for the purpose I have next.
To
The Hon[ora]blee Jas. [James] Madison
30th Mar. 1789

Sooo … I am a great enthusiast when it comes to the “Choose your own Story”-genre. As a child I read books where every decision would lead you to a different chapter and when I got older, I discovered Apps and Websites that worked according to the same concept. Long story short, I wanted to write such a story myself – and you all may judge if my idea worked out or not. I took a historical scenario, the March of the Women on Versailles in 1798, and added my thoughts on how things could have turned out differently.
Tomorrow I will post all the entries (there are more than 50 in total xD) and then go on and link each decision to its outcome.
To provide some sort of order, I will pin the starting point on my blog so that it is easier to find. Because otherwise, none of my next 48 posts will make much sense.
I would greatly (!!) appreciate any form of feedback because I do not know if the idea itself or my execution of said idea is any good. :-)

Here an illustration from the Magazine des Modes Novels Françaises et Anglaises, number 16, 1st of May 1789.
Does that date tell you anything?
Here we see:
A small silver hand-washing fountain, or toilet fountain, decorated in stripes.
A young man in an oxblood coat with plain polished copper buttons, breeches and waistcoat in lemon yellow, a hat á la Androsmane, the hair is tied in a tail, the shirt is simple, and the cravat is finished in lace, the gloves are of yellow leather and the stockings white. Note that the coat is buttoned from the first button, a fashion very young and for a colder weather, and the author considers that the fashion of folding the ribbon of the hat buttons is not going to be adopted, since it adds no wealth or elegance to the look (laughs in post-French Revolution fashion).
The young woman wears a blue taffeta caraco, white petticoat with long ruffle with a zig-zag trim, an white gauze fichu embroidered in blue is worn puffy at the fro n and long at the centre back, a turban bonnet made of blue pleated taffeta and decorated with feathers at the front, and a green paper fan.

every time i watch a french musical i think to myself "surely i will be able to understand the plot this time! surely the sequence of songs and the transitions between them and the lyrics' application to the situations will make sense THIS time"
and every time. i am wrong.
