Extract about Thomas Jefferson, by Joseph Delaplaine
| [1815] |
In conversation, he is free and communicative. All topics that fall under discussion are treated by him with equal unreservedness. He seems, indeed, to have no thought or opinion to conceal, and his stores of knowledge are unlocked and laid open with the same freedom in which nature unfolds her bounties. They lie before you, and you have only to select and enjoy ... The liberality of his disposition, is felt in blessings around the neighbourhood of Monticello.
