16322 Ballin said: "If I had known,

16323 wd/ indeed have stuffed all Hamburg with grain."

16324 Bülow believed him. But Talleyrand set up Belgium,

16325 Two dynasties, two buffer states,

16326 wd/ have set Poland.

16327 So that Belgium saved Frogland; Svizzera neutral.

16418 That is the Regius Professorships

16421 and impose the Whig point of view.

16422 "Such hatred"

16423 wrote Bowers,

16424 and La Spagnuola saying:

16425 "We are perfectly useless, on top,

16426 but they killed the baker and cobbler."

16427 "Don't write me any more things to tell him

16526 Of Roanoke, EIGHTEEN 31:

16527 "Nation silly to borrow its own."

16528 Polk, Tyler, an honour roll.

16529 paideuma fading,

16530 Buchanan still fairly clean,

16531 Infantilism increasing till our time,

16532 attention to outlet, no attention to source,

16533 That is: the problem of issue.

16540 and the farce that was Churchill

16542 "But", said Antoninus,

16543 "Law rules the sea".

16544 "And that the state shd/ have benefit

16545 from private misfortune,

16546 not in my time, not under me."

16547 Until Salmasius, wanting precision:

16548 Want, ,

16549 "Common practice!" sd/Ari re business;

16550 "Cogitatio, meditatio, contemplatio."

16551 Wrote Richardus, and Dante read him.

16552 Centrum circuli.

16553 Remove the mythologies before they establish clean values.

16554 "Europe" said Picabia

16555 "exhausted by the conquest of Alsace-Lorraine."

16556 Vlaminck: "... is local." "Art is."

16557 The pusillanimous wanting all men cut down to worm size.

LXXXVIII


16721 It was Saturday the 1st day of April, toward noon,

16722 the Senate not being that day in session ...

16723 came to my room at Brown's asking was I

16724 Mrs Clay's blood-relation?

16725 Prompt in agreeing to meet ... exact in protesting Clay's

16726 right to call him. "Col. Tatnall, the bearer,

16727 is authorized ...

16728 Was defiance of Adams, not Clay,

16729 in the senate speech, but to Jessup had said

16730 He would waive privilege,

16731 which constitutes a very palpable difference.

16732 Vague report that he had said that Salazar's letter

16733 bore earmarks

16734 ("blackleg")

16735 Which led to absolute challenge absolutely accepted,

16736 By which time it had become "forgery"

16737 (Jessup to Tatnall)

16738 "Forged or manufactured"

16739 (Tatnall quoting his principle: Charlotte jury

16740 Wd/ find presumptive strong likeness

16741 "in points of style" to other papers,

16742 Not proof but suspicion, for which he declined to offer

16743 explanation.

16744 Adams and Clay were for entanglement.

16748 # where there was a law

16749 against duelling.

16750 I alone knew how he meant to avoid that.

16751 I went to Clay's on the Friday, the youngest child

16752 went to sleep on the sofa.

16753 Mrs Clay, as always since the death of her daughter,

16754 the picture of desolation

16755 But calm and conversable.

16756 Clay and I parted at midnight.

16757 Saturday, Randolph's, Georgetown,

16758 Could not ask him

16759 but mentioned the child asleep on the sofa.

16760 He said:

16761 "I shall do nothing to disturb its sleep

16762 or the repose of its mother",

16763 and went on making codicils for things of slight value;

16764 To Macon, some english shillings to

16765 keep game when he played whist;

16766 Young Bryan sent back to school to

16767 save him shock if ... and so forth.

16768 Wanted gold, coins not then in circulation,

16769 sent Johnny to Branch bank to get a few pieces,

16770 who returned, saying they had none.

16771 "They are liars from the begining. My HORSE!"

16772 which was brought him, for he never rode Johnny's ...

16773 Down Penn. Avenue to what is now Corcoran, Riggs,

16774 Johnny behind him at 40 paces.

16775 Asked for the state of his account. The teller

16776 took up packages of bills and

16777 asked in what size notes he wd/ have it.


[Page 579]
16778 "I want money."

16779 said Mr Randolph.

16780 The teller, begining to understand him, said: Silver?

16781 "My MONEY!" said Mr Randolph.

16782 "Have you a cart, Mr Randolph?"

16783 By that time the cashier

16784 told him there was a mistake in the answer to Johnny

16785 and that he shd/ have what he wanted.

16786 He got it, and closed the account,

16787 Returned and gave me an envelope

16788 to open if he were killed,

16789 And a slip to read before I got to the ground:

16790 to feel in his breeches pocket:

16791 nine pieces, I think it was,

16792 3 for me, Tatnall, Hamilton, each

16793 to make seals of, as mementos.

16794 We were all three then at his lodgings.

16795 He and the seconds took carriage,

16796 I followed on horseback.

16797 His (R's) stepfather

16798 brought out a "Blackstone" (a. D. 1804)

16799 The place was a thick forest in which a little

16815 and voys in parliament may have benefit of their peerage,
