Extract from Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Dougherty

Monticello Sep. 6. 07.

I am sincerlely glad that your family dispute is made up, as I am convinced it will tend to your own happiness, and particularly to th to the well-being of your children. the differings between man & wife, however they may affect their tranquility, can never produce such sufferings as are consequent on their separation.

PoC (MHi); at foot of text: “Mr. Joseph Dougherty”; endorsed by TJ.
