[697] Murray to J. Q. Adams, Feb. 20, 1798, _Letters_: Ford, 379. Murray thought Marshall's statement of the American case "unanswerable" and "proudly independent." (_Ib._, 395.) Contrast Murray's opinion of Marshall with his description of Gerry, _supra_, chap. VII, 258, and footnote.

[708] Undoubtedly Beaumarchais. Marshall left his client's name blank in his Journal, but Pickering, on the authority of Pinckney, in the official copy, inserted Beaumarchais's name in later dates of the Journal.

[717] This would seem to indicate that Marshall knew that his famous dispatches were to be published.
[718] France was already making "actual war" upon America; the threat of formally declaring war, therefore, had no terror for Marshall.
[719] Here Marshall contradicts his own statement that the French Nation was tired of the war, groaning under taxation, and not "universally"

[724] The exact reverse was true. Up to this time American newspapers, with few exceptions, were hot for France. Only a very few papers, like Fenno's _Gazette of the United States_, could possibly be considered as unfriendly to France at this point. (See _supra_, chap. I.)

[735] This would seem to dispose of the story that Marshall brought home enough "very fine" Madeira to serve his own use, supply weddings, and still leave a quant.i.ty in existence three quarters of a century after his return. (_Green Bag_, viii, 486.)
