Extract from Thomas Jefferson to John Barnes

Monticello April 27. 09.

the total change of occupation from the house & writing table to constant emploiment in the garden & farm has added wonderfully to my happiness. it is seldom & with great reluctance I ever take up a pen. I read some, but not much.
