3671. HARMONY, Political and personal.—

I never suffered a political to become
a personal difference. I have been left on
this ground by some friends whom I dearly
loved, but I was never the first to separate.
With some others, of politics different from
mine, I have continued in the warmest friendship
to this day, and to all, and to yourself
particularly, I have ever done moral justice.—
To Timothy Pickering. Washington ed. vii, 210.
(M. 1821)
