3277. FRIENDSHIP, Comforts of.—

What an ocean is life! And how our barks
get separated in beating through it! One of the
greatest comforts of the retirement to which
I shall soon withdraw will be its rejoining
me to my earliest and best friends, and acquaintances.—
To St. George Tucker. Ford ed., vi, 425.
(Pa., 1793)
