"This is the place to get a poor opinion of everybody in...There are few that I find pleasant enough to visit.
I am most infernally tired of Washington and its 'attractions.' To be busy is a man's only happiness--and I
am--otherwise I should die." letter to Orion Clemens, 2.21.1868, Washington, DC, as quoted in Mark
Twain's Letters (Paine)
