Take the following as truth: There is a long amiable letter to the young Lafayette in 1779, in which Washington, in a giddy mood, drifts into a reverie about competing for Lafayette's young wife with Lafayette himself--a funny bit of teasing, followed abruptly by a rueful reassurance, worthy of Stendhal himself, that amidst all the wonders recorded in holy writ no instance can be produced where a Woman from real inclination has preferred an old man.
Then the following statement: "Washington never cared much for Lafayette's wife and would often write letters that exposed his disdain for the woman." is true, false, or inconclusive?
