Dear Sir :
You can have very little time for private letters,,
and therefore I am the more obliged by the one you
honoured me with on the 31st of last month. Your
answer to the call for papers meets with very general
approbation here. The prevailing party in the House
of Representatives appear to me to be digging their
political grave. I have full faith that all will end
well, and that France will find the United States less,
easy to. manage than Holland or Geneva.
The session of our Legislature is concluded, and
nothing unpleasant has occurred during the course of
it. I think your measures will meet with general and
firm support from the great majority of this State.
There is no defection among the Federalists; as to
the others, they will act according to circumstances.
These contentions must give you a great deal of
trouble; but it is apparent to me, that the conclusion
of them, like the conclusion of the late war, will afford
a train of reflections which will console and compensate you for it.
Attachment to you, as well as to our country, urges
me to hope and to pray that you will not leave the
