1052. CABINET, Verbal and Written Opinions.—
I practiced the method [of assembling
the Cabinet members and taking their
opinions verbally], because the harmony was
so cordial among us all, that we never failed,
by a contribution of mutual views on a subject,
to form an opinion acceptable to the
whole. I think there never was one instance
to the contrary, in any case of consequence.—
