8511. TRAVEL, Tours of political.—[continued].

A journey to Boston or
Portsmouth, after I shall be a private citizen,
would much better harmonize with my feelings,
as well as duties; and, founded in curiosity,
would give no claims to an extension of it. I
should see my friends, too, more at our mutual
ease, and be left more exclusively to their society.—
To James Sullivan. Washington ed. v, 102. Ford ed., ix, 78.
