6064. OFFICE, Poverty and.—
There is
not, and has not been, a single vacant office
at my disposal. Nor would I, as your friend,
ever think of putting you into the petty
clerkships in the several offices, where you
would have to drudge through life for a
miserable pittance, without a hope of bettering
your situation.—
To John Garland Jefferson.
Ford ed., v, 180.

1790)
