1384. COMMERCE, Cherish.—[further continued].

One imputation in particular
has been remarked till it seems as if
some at least believe it: that I am an enemy
to commerce. They admit me as a friend to
agriculture, and suppose me an enemy to the
only means of disposing of its produce.—
To Major William Jackson. Washington ed. iv, 358.
(M. Feb. 1801)
