To William Cushing, 22 April 1800
Recipient
I find that the Judiciary bill is postponed to the next Session, so that we shall have to ride the fall Circuits. Presuming that the Southern Circuit will be extremely disagreable and inconvenient to you, and feeling that it will be not more so to me than the Eastern, which falls to me in the regular course, I propose that we exchange, so as to produce an accomodation to both.
