3812. HULL (William), Bravery.—

The
detestable treason of Hull, has excited a deep
anxiety in all breasts. * * * His treachery, like
that of Arnold, cannot be a matter of blame on
our government. His character, as an officer of
skill and bravery, was established on the trials
of the last war, and no previous act of his life
had led to doubt his fidelity.—
To William Duane. Washington ed. vi, 80. Ford ed., ix, 368.
