Description
Acknowledges letter of Feb. 9, and a preceding one; before that came to hand an arrangement had been settled; talents are not the only consideration, but a geographical equilibrium is expected in public appointments; hopes to make up an administration which will unite a great mass of confidence, to conciliate the honest part of the federalists and yet do justice to those who have so long been excluded.
