8484. TRACY (Comte de), Infirmity of.—

The Tracy I mentioned to you is the one
connected by marriage with Lafayette's family.
* * * He writes me that he is become blind,
and so infirm that he is no longer able to compose
anything; so that we are to consider his
works as now closed.—
To John Adams. Washington ed. vii, 43.
(M. 1816)
