If you don't have a front-loading washing machine, go to the laundromat. Down comforters become heavy and bulky with water and can damage the balance of top-loading washing machines. Comforters can also become tangled and rip in washing machines that are too small.
Martha Washington died with a high fever of 105.3 and heart failure. She died at age 70, on May 22, 1802. She was depressed after George died and more of less wasted away.
Craik and Brown thought that Washington had quinsey or quincy, while Dick, the younger man, thought the condition was more serious or a violent inflammation of the throat. Washington died at home around 10 p.m. on Saturday, December 14, 1799, aged 67.
