Extract from Thomas Jefferson to Martha Jefferson Randolph

Philadelphia June 8. 1797.

when I look to the ineffable pleasures of my family society, I become more & more disgusted with the jealousies, the hatred, & the rancorous & malignant passions of this scene, & lament my having ever again been drawn into public view.
