2332. DUTY, Office and.—
Could I have
persuaded myself that public offices were
made for private convenience, I should undoubtedly
have preferred a continuance in
the French mission, which placed me nearer
to you; but believing, on the contrary, that
a good citizen should take his stand where
the public authority marshals him, I have
acquiesced.—
To Madame La Duchesse D'Auville. Washington ed. iii, 134.
Ford ed., v, 153.
