"Washington was a man of exceptional, almost excessive self command, rarely permitting himself any show of discouragement or despair, but in the privacy of his correspondence with Joseph Reed [in 1776], he began...to reveal how very low and bitter he felt, if the truth were known.
Never had he seen 'such a dearth of public spirit and want of virtue' as among the Yankee soldiers, he confided in a letter to Reed of November 28."

I don't accept the premise that "public spirit" is a negative or somehow communist.
Did the Greeks have "public spirit?" The Romans?
Seems like most places I wouldn't want to live in have a significant "dirth of public spirit."
