3439. GEORGE III., Bitterness of.—

His
obstinacy of character we know; his hostility
we have known, and it is embittered by ill success.
If ever this nation, during his life, enter
into arrangements with us, it must be in consequence
of events of which they do not at present
see a possibility.—
To Richard Henry Lee. Washington ed. i, 541. Ford ed., iv, 207.
(L. 1786)
