5568. MOUSTIER (Count), Character of.—

You will find him open, communicative,
candid, simple in his manners, and a declared
enemy to ostentation and luxury. He goes
with a resolution to add no aliment to it by
his example, unless he finds that the dispositions
of our countrymen require it indispensably.—
To John Jay. Washington ed. ii, 293.
