2319. DUTY, Danger and.—

I would
really go away [from Philadelphia] because
I think there is rational danger [from the
yellow fever], but that I had before announced
that I should not go till the begin
ning of October, and I do not like to exhibit
the appearance of panic. Besides that, I
think there might serious ills proceed from
there being not a single member of the administration
in place.—
To James Madison. Ford ed., vi, 419.
(Sep. 1793)
