Washikoton^ March 23/ 1828. Mr Dear Pope : I am always behind you in our correspondence, both in quantity and quality. But you are a gentleman of leisure, thank Heaven ! and I, a beast of burden. I thank Heaven too, — both that I have a burden to carry, and that I am able to bear it Though I fre- quently find myself in the condition of Issachar, — ^^ Issachar is a strong ass, bowed down between two burdens:^' — the Supreme Court being in one pannier and the President and Heads of De- partments ...in the other. But my health is good and I find myself generally ready " to cut and come again." So much for good animal spirits, a clear conscience and a total exemption from that canker, political ambition !
