Line 7 - Dr. Benjamin Fendall, a dentist of Cedar Hill in Charles County, Md., was at Mount Vernon from 2 to 7 Dec. 1797, most likely for the purpose of making a model for some new false teeth for Martha Washington. On 6 March 1798, GW wrote Fendall: "Mrs Washington has been long in expectation of receiving what you took away unfinished, and was to have completed and sent to her; and prays that it may be done with out further delay, as she is in want of them; & must apply elsewhere if not done." In August 1799, Fendall sent GW a set of "Mrs Washingtons Teeth" consisting in "4 artificial Teeth with an Enamel". See Diaries, 6:271-72; see also GW to Benjamin Fendall, 6 March 1798 [Rotunda | Founders Online | Print (Retirement Series, Volume 2, pages 119-20)]; and Fendall to GW, 10 Aug. 1799 [Rotunda | Founders Online | Print (Retirement Series, Volume 4, page 231)].
