Extract from Thomas Jefferson to Jean Nicolas Démeunier

Monticello. Virginia Apr. 29. 95.

being myself a warm zealot for the attainment & enjoiment by all mankind of as much liberty as each may exercise without injury to the equal liberty of his fellow citizens, I have lamented that in France the endeavors to obtain this should have been attended with the effusion of so much blood.
