7550. REVOLUTION (French), Sympathy with.—

I still hope the French Revolution
will issue happily. I feel that the permanence
of our own leans in some degree on that,
and that a failure there would be a powerful
argument to prove that there must be a failure
here.—
To Edward Rutledge. Washington ed. iii, 285. Ford ed., v, 377.
