4365. LAFAYETTE (Marquis de), Louisiana and.—

I very much wished your presence
in New Orleans during the late conspiracy
of Burr. * * * It would have been of value, as
a point of union and confidence, for the ancient
inhabitants, American as well as Creole.—
To Marquis de Lafayette. Ford ed., ix, 665.
(W. May. 1807)
