but imagine having to succeed george washington. there is a great saying, one of the great tableaus in american history. in march 1887, when washington is leaving, and he attends the inauguration, we've come through this great turning point of peaceful transition of power from one president to another, and, of course, adams realizes everyone's sleeping, and they're all there because of washington, but not there because of -- they're there because of the setting, not washington tried to be as inconspicuous as he could. he could not be inconspicuous. host: we have a decision from our colleagues of george .ashington's adentures they look pretty painful. it asks whether he used -- had a terrible pain and was dosed with an opium derivatives regularly. it does not seem to have impaired his presidency. host: next is hendersonville, north carolina, william, democrats line. caller: i am calling from hendersonville. i am very delighted with your program this morning and you're having richard norton smith on. the question i wanted to ask is wha

and one of the first letters of congratulations that madison receives is from george washington. it was nothing that washington had against monroe. washington was responsible for promoting monroe through the ranks in the continental army. and who that lived with someone else during the winter at valley forge could ever help but see that person as a dear friend and a kinsman? i think i quote a different book where it talks about valley forge, a name associated with misery since the 18th century. and, indeed, it was. and they lived through some of the worst fighting of the war together. but it was because washington relied on madison, his advice, his counsel. madison is really the principle adviser to washington in at least the first year of his presidency. i think to some degree that role shifts to alexander hamilton. but in the beginning it's james madison, and one of the first letters of congratulations he gets, congratulations on a majority of a respectable number of your peers, now help me write my inaugural address. he's the first author of washington's first inaugural address
