Lafayette In Massachusetts In 1824 – September 2 Stow

Lafayette In Massachusetts In 1824 – September 2 Stow

Miss Abigail Soper, the daughter of Jacob Soper the blacksmith, presented him with a bouquet, and the General, in true French style, stooped and kissed her on both cheeks. It is said, that several years later, when this fact was mentioned in the presence of the Rev. Mr. Moulton, the latter quietly remarked, “As I remember Abigail Soper, she was a very ugly old woman, and it would have taken a hero of several wars to have kissed her on even one cheek.” Miss Soper was about 16, at the time of Lafayette’s visit.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
