Washington, who always knew how to speak with both passion and dignity, said farewell to his senior officers in that tavern by saying:
With a heart full of love and gratitude I now take leave of you. I most devoutly wish that your latter days may be as prosperous and happy as your former ones have been glorious and honorable.
I'd love to go to Fraunces Tavern.
