2775. EUSTIS (William), Character.—

Whether the head of the War Department is
equal to his charge, I am not qualified to decide.
I knew him only as a pleasant gentlemanly
man in Society; and the indecision of his
character added to the amenity of his conversation.—
To William Duane. Washington ed. vi, 81. Ford ed., ix, 368.
(M. Oct. 1812)
