8997. WASHINGTON (George), Attacks on.—

The President is extremely affected by
the attacks made and kept up on him in the public
papers. I think he feels those things more
than any person I ever yet met with. I am
sincerely sorry to see them.—
To James Madison. Washington ed. iii, 579. Ford ed., vi, 293.
