Extract from Adam Hodgson’s Account of a Visit to Monticello
| [ca. 18 June 1820] |
Mr. Jefferson’s appearance is rather prepossessing. He is tall and very thin, a little bent with age, with an intelligent and sprightly countenance. His manners are dignified, but courteous and gentlemanly; and he enters into conversation with great ease and animation.
