2466. ELECTIONS (Presidential, 1800), Balloting in House—[further continued].

Four days of balloting
have produced not a single change of a vote.
Yet it is confidently believed by most that to-morrow
there is to be a coalition. I know of
no foundation for this belief.
To James Monroe. Washington ed. iv, 354. Ford ed., vii, 490.
(W. Feb. 15, 1801)
