6742. POLITICS, Pamphlets on.—

You
will receive some pamphlets * * * on
the acts of the last session. These I would
wish you to distribute, not to sound men
who have no occasion for them, but to such
as have been misled, are candid, and will
be open to the conviction of truth, and are
of influence among their neighbors. It is
the sick who need medicine, and not the well.—
To Archibald Stuart. Washington ed. iv, 286. Ford ed., vii, 354.
(Pa., 1799)
