TO JOHN ADAMS.
Wednesday 8 January, 1794. Dear Sir,
I would thank you for giving the papers herewith enclosed a perusal—and for the result of it.
I am now deliberating on the measure proper and necessary to be taken with respect to Mr. G—t and wish for aid in so doing; The critical State of things making me more than usually anxious to decide right in the present case.
None but the heads of Departments are privy to these papers, which I pray may be returned this evening, or in the morning—
With very sincere esteem &c.
The President “made me a very friendly visit yesterday, which I returned today, and had two hours’ conversation with him alone in his cabinet. The conversation, which was extremely interesting, and equally affectionate, I cannot explain even by a hint. But his earnest desire to do right, and his close application to discover it, his deliberate and comprehensive view of our affairs with all the world, appeared in a very amiable and respectable light. The anti-federalists and the frenchified zealots have nothing now to do, that I can conceive of, but to ruin his character, destroy his peace and injure his health. He supports all their attacks with great firmness, and his health appears to be very good. The Jacobins would make a sortie upon him in all the force they could muster, if they dared.”—John Adams to his Wife, 9 January, 1794.
