2452. ELECTIONS (Presidential, 1796), Jefferson's Vote. mdash; [continued].

I value highly, indeed,
the part my fellow-citizens gave me in their
late vote, as an evidence of their esteem, and
I am happy in the information you are so
kind as to give, that many in the Eastern
quarter entertain the same sentiment.—
To James Sullivan. Washington ed. iv, 168. Ford ed., vii, 117.
(M. Feb. 1797)
