If he was regarded as aloof and enigmatic by his peers, it was an image the deliberately fostered as contributing to his public role. An examination of his correspondence gives us a different view of Washington, and we find him warmer and more intense than we knew, given to wry Humor, compassion and sometimes towering range. This book stands and welcome contrast to the colorlessness that has become the hallmark of too many documentary editions.
