[704] Adams to Marshall, July 17, 1806, MS.

This letter is most important. Adams pictures his situation when President: ”A first Magistrate of a great Republick with a General officer under him, a Commander in Chief of the Army, who had ten thousand times as much Influence Popularity and Power as himself, and that Commander in Chief so much under the influence of his Second in command [Hamilton], ... the most treacherous, malicious, insolent and revengeful enemy of the first Magistrate is a Picture which may be very delicate and dangerous to draw. But it must be drawn....

”There is one fact ... which it will be difficult for posterity to believe, and that is that the measures taken by Senators, Members of the House, some of the heads of departments, and some officers of the Army to force me to appoint General Was.h.i.+ngton ... proceeded not from any regard to him ... but merely from an intention to employ him as an engine to elevate Hamilton to the head of affairs civil as well as military.”

[705] He was ”accustomed to contemplate America as his country, and to consider ... the interests of the whole.” (Marshall, V, 10.)
