2016. DEBT, Thraldom of.—

Instead of
the unalloyed happiness of retiring unembarrassed
and independent, to the enjoyment
of my estate, which is ample for my limited
views, I have to pass such a length of time
in a thraldom of mind never before known to
me. Except for this, my happiness would
have been perfect.—
To General Kosciusko. Washington ed. v, 509.
(M. 1810)
