4353. LAFAYETTE (Marquis de), Friendship for.—[continued].

Old men do not easily
contract new friendships, but neither do they
forget old ones. Yours and mine, commenced
in times too awful, has continued through times
too trying and changeful to be forgotten at the
moment when our chief solace is in our recollections.—
To Marquis Lafayette. Ford ed., ix, 302.
(M. 1811)
