5031. MANUFACTURES, Household.—[further continued]

I presume, like the rest
of us in the country, you are in the habit of
household manufacture, and that you will not,
like too many, abandon it on the return of
peace, to enrich our late enemy, and to
nourish foreign agents in our bosom, whose
baneful influence and intrigues cost us so
much embarrassment and dissension.—
To George Fleming. Washington ed. vi, 506.
(M. Dec. 1815)
