My Life after serving in the Senate

I never recovered the wealth that I had before the revolution. What was left of my fortune
I invested in land but lost money because of declining land values in the western part of New York state. I spent three years in a debtor's prison for inability to pay my debts. I was released after congress passed a bankruptcy protection bill and I was able to prove I had no money. I guess this is my last blog entree. I will probebly die somwtime this month at the ge of seventy three, in relative poverty. I died May 9, 1806, in relative poverty, at the age of 73.
