RICHMOND [VA] WHIG January - June, 1864 RICHMOND [VA] WHIG, January 1, 1864, p. 2, c. 1 The New Year. "Old Sixty Three" is gone at last, and, this day, young "Sixty Four" steps forward to run his course.—In bidding farewell to the departed year, we cannot repress a mental retrospect of the direful events which have reddened the pages of history since we last penned a New Year's paragraph. Blood, precious blood, has been shed profusely, and we may well be excused for indulging the oft-used simile that the incessant raindrops yesterday were tears over the sorrows which the passing year had brought on the helpless victims of this war. But we will not dwell upon the past. Hope bids us look to the future. The good book says, truly, that "no man knoweth what a day may bring forth." We shall, therefore, not attempt to predict what will take place during the next twelve months.

Visitors on this and the following Saturday will see a collection of illustrations of local life and history prepared and hung by John Sheaf. It is a quiet unveiling of the old house left to us by the late Jack Ellis, restored in a way we believe he would have approved. Fanfares will come later, next Spring when we join in celebration of the centenary of the 1902 Act for the protection of the view from Richmond Hill: Arcadia 2002. For the moment we want to introduce the house to those who have watched, waited and supported us, and to present an outline ofthe rich and varied history ofthe old borough in its full extent. The House Some of you will recall the sight which greeted us on taking possession nearly three years ago, of rooms packed to bursting with goods of every description which you later helped to sell. Many have looked in at subsequent stages in the house's recovery, curiosity overcoming the bazards of entry. At our last Open Day before building work began, Tony Beckles Willson's history of St Mary's Church was launched and a small exhibition mounted. By the end of March this year the administrators of Jack Ellis's estate had finished their work, and the house belonged, for the first time in law, to The Twickenham Museum.
