Extract from Thomas Jefferson to Richard Rush

you left us in a state of political division, and in the same state you find us, and in that state I hope we shall ever be found. men are not made to have the same opinions, any more than the same features or bodily forms. we differ as others do; and on government as on other subjects.

RC (Joseph Rubinfine, West Palm Beach, Fla., 2015). Dft (DLC).
