"The patient bore his acute sufferings with fortitude and perfect resignation to the Divine will, while as the night advanced it became evident that he was sinking, and he seemed fully aware that 'his hour was nigh.' He inquired the time, and was answered a few minutes to ten. He spoke no more - the hand of death was upon him, and he was conscious that 'his hour was come.' With surprising self-possession he prepared to die"

Answer 19

tldr George Washington was very stoic about it

Answer 20

he was more concerned about his descendants and the future of his country, than about himself

Answer 21

The quote shows that he is responsible and tried to live his life according to a personal code/philosophy. It supports Curtis' description of Washington as a stoic man who bore his burdens with fortitude and strength.

Answer 22

""To the respectful and affectionate inquiries of an old family servant, as she smoothed down his pillow, how he felt himself, he answered, 'I am very ill.' To Dr. Craik, his earliest companion-in-arms, longest tried and bosom friend, he observed, 'I am dying, sir - but am not afraid to die.' To Mrs. Washington he said, 'Go to my desk, and in the private drawer you will find two papers - bring them to me.' They were brought. He continued -'These are my Wills -preserve this one and burn the other,' which was accordingly done. Calling to Colonel Lear, he directed - 'Let my corpse be kept for the usual period of three days.'

Answer 23

basically, he calls upon his family/physicians and makes arrangements for what will happen after his death

Answer 24

that shows that he is aware he is going to die

Answer 25

OK thank you @Vocaloid
