Mr. Nelson Chase, whose first wife was Mary Bounes, the niece of Madam Jumel, lived in the Jumel house for fifty years. He was widely esteemed for his kind temper and professional ability. His circle of acquaintances, who were frequent visitors at the mansion, included such persons as James Parton, the biographer of Aaron Burr, Nathaniel P. Willis, "Fanny Fern," Myron Gaines Clark, Mrs. Blennerhasset, and many others. He often entertained his guests with stories of Aaron Burr, frequently describing the scene of the marriage with Madam Jumel. After his death the mansion passed into the hands of several occupants, and was finally purchased by Gen. Ferdinand P. Earle of New York, who died there Jan. 2, 1903. Only three buildings now exist in New York that are intimately associated with the name of Washington. One of these is the Jumel house, his headquarters at one of the most critical periods of the Revolutionary war; another is Fraunce's Tavern where in 1783 he bade adieu to his officers; the third is the Church of St. Paul in Broadway where he worshipped. This sacred structure is fortunately preserved from destruction by the care and oversight of the great corporation by which it is owned. The others, patriotic citizens of this city are now endeavoring to place in conditions which will render them equally secure. Historic places such as these must have an elevating influence upon our people, and must foster the spirit of patriotism in our descendants. New York owes it to herself to act patriotically in this matter. If it be pleaded that the commercial spirit stands in our way, let it be remembered that it was the merchants of New York who in 1770 established their Chamber of Commerce in this very Fraunce's Tavern which we wish to preserve; who threw overboard the cargo of tea in 1774; who organized the "Sons of Liberty," and met the British forces on Golden Hill five years before the battle of Lexington. Surely the descendants of these men will not betray their trust, and both the Jumel mansion and the Tavern of the Revolution will be preserved for all time as landmarks sacredly associated with that one wise and heroic leader who above all others wrought out for us the heritage we now enjoy, and which we are pledged to hand down unimpaired to coming generations.
