I had this lovely impression as I walked through Scotchtown on Saturday of Alexander Donald and Patrick Henry going through from dinner discussing liberty and politics and playing a robust hand of cards at the table they have set out there by candle light.
Appears their relationship may have had something of a more professional edge to it as well - Patrick "Give me Liberty, or Give me Death!" Henry's fee book shows that despite his reputation as being a brilliant criminal lawyer and giving a good speech or two - between 1766-1768 he lists 65 fees for chasing up debts for one Alexander Donald of Hanover County.
Glad to know we used only one of the best legal minds ever to chase up our debts!
