6901. PRESIDENCY, Expenses of.—

I
had hoped to keep the expenses of my office
within the limits of its salary, so as to apply
my private income entirely to the improvement
and enlargement of my estate; but I have not
been able to do it.—
To Rev. Charles Clay. Washington ed. v, 27. Ford ed., ix, 6.
