United States--History--Revolution, 1775-1783; Jay, John, 1745-1829
Summary
Has seen Jefferson at Philadelphia, who has fallen in the esteem of many
in northern and eastern states resulting in a want of harmony in public councils. Feels
that parties are neither "necessary or salutary in our government." He also visited
Washington at Mount Vernon, who was fortunate in the "veneration and confidence"
attached to his administration. Lastly he saw James Madison, "who once sustained so
conspicuous a character on the theatre of American politics."
