4628. LETTERS, Gleams of light.—

Your
letters * * * serve, like gleams of light, to cheer
a dreary scene; where envy, hatred, malice, revenge,
and all the worst passions of men, are
marshalled to make one another as miserable
as possible.—
To Martha Jefferson Randolph. D. L. J.248.
(Pa., Feb. 1798)
