9000. WASHINGTON (George), Cincinnati and.—

I have wished to see you standing
on ground separated from it [the Society of
the Cincinnati]; and that the character which
will be handed to future ages at the head of our
Revolution, may, in no instance, be compromitted
in subordinate altercations.—
To General Washington. Washington ed. i, 333. Ford ed., iii, 465.
(1784)
