347. ANARCHY, Imputed.—

From the
London gazettes and the papers copying
them, you are led to suppose that all in
America is anarchy, discontent and civil war.
Nothing, however, is less true. There are not
on the face of the earth more tranquil governments
than ours, nor a happier and more
contented people.—
To Baron Geismer. Washington ed. i, 427.
