3354. GALLATIN (Albert), Usefulness.—

I congratulate you sincerely on your safe
return to your own country, and without knowing
your own wishes, mine are that you would
never leave it again. I know you would be useful
to us at Paris, and so you would anywhere;
but nowhere so useful as here.—
To Albert Gallatin. Washington ed. vi, 498.
(M. 1815)
