Extract from Francis W. Gilmer to William Wirt
| Winchester. 20. Dec. 1816 |
The old Citzn of Monticello is such a diplomatist, that he has quite baffled our schemes to obtain his opinion: and when we ask him one thing he tells us, he ‘has reason to believe’ something about another. A plague upon all diplomacy I say.
RC (Vi: Francis Walker Gilmer Papers, Acc. 18763).
