Dear Friend, I thank you for all the gracious favors mentioned in your letter. Pat is always in great spirit when she volunteers in my home. I am glad that you enjoyed my modest furnishings as I feel that it was money well spent to put my best foot forward. Please stop by home whenever you have the opportunity to be in Alexandria again. Yours, J. Carlyle

Huzzah! I received your very agreeable letter speaking well of my home and tour which gave me great pleasure. I thank you unreservedly for the kind words about your visit. Best regards to you and yours. Your humble servant, John Carlyle, Esq.

Your kind favor of May 21st was handed to me just now and I wish to extend my gratitude for taking the time to comment on my home. I take great pride in the individuals who maintain and volunteer in and around my house and I am always pleased when visitors such as yourself mention them. I have heard that the admission is quite a well-spent investment with which to visit my home in Alexandria. Thank you again for your commentary. Best Regards, J. Carlyle

Dear Friend, Thank you most unreservedly for the kind words you penned on the 13th May of this year. While I had my home built of the finest Aquia sandstone, I wish that all of my neighbors had the same financial resources to construct an equally sound house such as mine. I also greatly appreciate your compliments of Laura. I take great pride in the passion each of docents has for the history of my house as well as the town of Alexandria. Your most humble and obedient servant, John Carlyle, Esq.

Groeten vriend, Met genoegen las ik uw brief van 1 februari! Heel erg bedankt voor de vriendelijke woorden over uw bezoek en de rondleiding met een van onze geweldige vrijwilligers. Ik herinner me dat ik je ontmoette toen je aankwam en was blij dat je genoten hebt van je tour. Nogmaals, heel erg bedankt. Hartelijke groeten, John Carlyle, Esq.

Good Friend, It gave me high satisfaction when I read your letter dated the 9th of January. I wish to thank you for the kind prose given of your time in my home with Jessica and Laura. I was pleased to read that you chose to stop by the house to escape the cold weather and spend some time with us. When next you are in Alexandria, please do stop in again. Tours with each docent are certainly unique in that they all have personal favorite areas and topics of my home and surrounding area that they are eager to share with special guests such as yourself. Your most humble and obedient servant, J. Carlyle, Esq.

Madam, your kind words are succinct and I truly thank you for your visit to my abode. Please return again in the near future, especially on April 9, 2022, when we "celebrate" Braddock Day at Carlyle House. Perhaps the General will not leave my home in such disarray this time. https://www.novaparks.com/parks/carlyle-house-historic-park/events/the-%E2%80%9Cgrandest-congress%E2%80%9D-the-french-and-indian-war-in Your most humble and obedient servant, John Carlyle

Fie! Truer words could not replace those which you have written. I was pleased to have been able to situate my home further from the street, despite its not being in accordance with the town rules. A better town I could not have found to raise my family and operate my businesses! Thank you for your review of my home and gardens! Best Regards, John Carlyle, Esq.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I certainly hope that your travels bring you back to my humble abode in the near future. My staff would eagerly take you on a guided tour through my home most any day save Wednesdays until 4 in the afternoon. Your most humble and obedient servant, John Carlyle

Good day, my friend, I received your letter of the second of April and was pleased that you enjoyed the visit to my humble abode. In these trying times, we try to offer a diversion to the events of the world by sharing my home's history with visitors such as yourself. Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again in the near future. Your most humble and obedient servant, John Carlyle, Esq.
