#1-12 I refused to attend the inauguration of my successor. I wrote in my diary, “The sun of my political life set in the deepest gloom.” Filled with sadness for the nation, I stayed in Washington for a few months before returning to my hometown. Bored by retirement, I agreed, over my family’s objections, to run for Congress from my district. I won the election and returned to Washington. |
