839. BIRTHDAY, Celebration of Washington's.—
A great ball is to be given here [Philadelphia] on the 22d, and in other great
towns of the Union. This is, at least, very
indelicate, and probably excites uneasy sensations
in some. I see in it, however, this useful
deduction, that the birthdays, which have
been kept, have been, not those of the President,
but of the General.—
To James Madison. Washington ed. iv, 212.
Ford ed., vii, 203.
(Pa.,
Feb. 1798)
