“In Philadelphia Burr went into virtual hiding with his friend Charles Biddle. For a while he was a spent man, depressed, morose, embittered. Biddle feared Burr might commit suicide at any moment. His condition was so pitiable, there were times when Biddle thought death might be the best solution.”

Thomas Fleming, Duel
Post-1804 Burr is the saddest Burr. Post-1807 Burr is just pathetic.
