5918. NEWS, Minor.—[continued].

I pray you to write to
me often. Do not turn politician too; but write
me all the small news—the news about persons
and about States; tell me who dies, that I May
meet these disagreeable events in detail, and
not all at once when I return (from France);
who marry, who hang themselves because they
cannot marry, &c.—
To Mrs. Trist. Washington ed. i, 395.
