Reading edition

"Mr Jenifer is a Gentleman of fortune in Maryland;—he is always in good humour, and never fails to make his company pleased with him. He sits silent in the Senate, and seems to be conscious that he is no politician. From his long continuance in single life, no doubt but he has made the vow of celibacy. He speaks warmly of the Ladies notwithstanding. Mr Jenifer is about 55 years of Age, and once served as Aid de Camp to Major Genl Lee."—Pierce's Notes, Am. Hist. Rev., iii., 330.
