7147. RANDOLPH (Edmund), Resignation.—

The resignation, or rather the removal,
of Randolph, you will have learned.
His vindication bears hard on the Executive
in the opinions of this quarter, and though it
clears him in their judgment of the charge of
bribery, it does not give them high ideas of
his wisdom or steadiness.—
To James Monroe. Ford ed., vii, 59.
(M. 1796)
