...merchant. She became the first Negro woman--and second American woman--to write a book, and her poetry achieved international renown. She was also the first person to apply the phrase "First in Peace" to George Washington, who wrote to her and praised her literary gifts highly. On a visit to London, she was presented by the Lord Mayor with a fine folio edition of Milton's Paradise Lost, which is now owned by Harvard's Houghton Library...
