To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
William Wirt who visited Washington at this time has left a vivid picture of ruin and desolation : I went to look at the ruins of the President's house.
The rooms which you saw so richly furnished, ex- hibited nothing but unroofed naked walls, cracked, de- faced, and blackened with fire. I cannot tell you what I felt as I walked amongst them. ... I called on the President. He looks miserably shattered and wo- begone. In short, he looked heartbroken. His mind is full of the New England sedition.... He introduced the subject, and continued to press it, — painful as it ob- viously was to him. I denied the probability, even the possibility that the yeomanry of the North could be in- duced to place themselves under the power and protec- tion of England, and diverted the conversation to an- other topic; but he took the first opportunity to return 236 JEFFERSON AND HIS COLLEAGUES to it, and convinced me that his heart and mind were painfully full of the subject.
What added to the President's misgivings was the secrecy in which the members of the Hartford Convention shrouded their deliberations.
