“Massachusetts was only too happy to pass its problem to Virginia. The British and Hessians left behind most of their belongings and marched through blizzards, passing what one called the “quite grand’’ houses of Cambridge, the “antique Roman’’ buildings of Harvard College, the “thriving little city’’ of Worcester, and the “tolerably kind, but damned inquisitive’’ people of Springfield.”

Jefferson felt the Hessian officers would enrich his life.
I don’t understand your meaning....
