TOAST PRONONCÉ EXEMPLAIRE DE .À ANNAPOLISLAFAYETTE. TOAST IN ANNAPOLIS. LAFAYETTE’S COPY “Gal Lafayette’s toast. Gal Lafayette rose and after having offered his more respected and affectionate thanks for the honors and marks of kindness confered upon him, he gave the following toast : the state of Maryland and may be fulfilled all the patriotic wishes which its respected representations on this day given me so honorable and gratifying an opportunity to export" “Another corps of militia had marched from Nottingham, which is thirty miles from Annapolis. The storm had retarded its arrival, but had not damped the zeal of the citizens. At Carrol’s Lane, about two miles from the city, the general, notwithstanding the remontrances that were made, descended from the carriage, and with his head uncovered, returned thanks to the troops" (Levasseur, Lafayette in America, II, p. 21)
