Thanks for posting AND the ping, Palter. I had read this this morning on the WSJ site (I have a paid subscription) and would have posted it but I thought it only could be read with a subscription.

Great piece...I was actually surprised that he did not mention the final tiff between The General and Jefferson. Jefferson was the originator of the rumor that Washington was becoming senile (I believe this was 1796 or 1797); Washington had many friends, and they tipped him off about it. Washington called Jefferson in to his office, asked Jefferson about it, and TJ denied it all. Washington knew he was lying and never was in the same room with Jefferson again after that.

The RevWar/Colonial History/General Washington ping list...
