103. ADDRESSES, Indiscreet Political.
—Indiscreet declarations and expressions of
passion may be pardoned to a multitude acting
from the impulse of the moment. But
we cannot expect a foreign nation to show
that apathy to the answers of the President
[Adams] which are more thrasonic than the
addresses. Whatever choice for peace might
have been left us * * * is completely lost by
these answers.—
To James Madison. Washington ed. iv, 238.
Ford ed., vii, 247.

May. 1798)
