2041. DEBT (Revolutionary), Soundness of.—
As a private individual and citizen of America, I can with propriety and truth
deliver it to you as my firm belief, that the
loan office certificate you showed me, and all
others of the same kind, will be paid, principal
and interest, as soon as the circumstances of
the United States will permit; that I do not
consider this as a distant epoch, nor suppose
there is a public debt on earth less doubtful.—
To M. Dirieks. Washington ed. ii, 422.
