Will put it on my reading list. Care to give some specifics where this quote comes from? letter? Speech?
See this too, the 9th paragraph down: http://business.intuit.com/article/george-washington-and-the-slavery-issue
I remember reading about it in The Indispensible Man (great read, btw), but that was over 25 years ago, and my mind isn’t what it used to be! :)
