| Content Description | Writes, "We learn, from good authority, that the President of the United States will see no Company on Sundays. We are also informed that the President, after his inauguration, will assign one or two days in every week for receiving such Foreigners & Citizens of the Union as may have occasion to wait upon him…The former to be presented through the medium of the ministers or other official Characters of their own Nation resident in America…We have not yet heard by whom Citizens are to be introduced. It seems to be a point of conceded on all parts, that the Chief Magistrate of confederated America should not be subjected to the necessity of making formal visits, even to personages in the most eminent stations. It is likewise supposed that he will not give or accept invitations to entertainments." |
