It is generally agreed that some cavalry, either militia or regular, will be necessary.
None can serve it with purer intentions than I have done or with a more disinterested zeal.
I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.
Under these circumstances, to discharge the dragoons does not seem to comport with economy.
