notable phrase
I will candidly acknowledge that had I a choice, it would be a gentleman of whose military abilities I had some knowledge & in whom I could place confidence in every vicissitude of fortune--and who from local situation would not be subject/ like the late Governor of New Jersey/ to conclude that every movement of the Enemy was directed against his family or person--nor too fond of a frontier militia--but all this in confidence.
