Extract from Thomas Jefferson to William Sampson
| Poplar Forest near Lynchburg. Aug. 2. 19. |
I am happy in this comfortable view of things, and have taken with contentedness the early and humble place in the procession which the master of the ceremony assigned to me. if I have walked straight, I have done my part; if awry, the train which follows will correct the line of march. to them I leave it
