Extract from Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr
| Paris Aug. 10. 1787. |
be good, be learned, & be industrious, & you will not want the aid of travelling to render you precious to your country, dear to your friends, happy within yourself. I repeat my advice to take a great deal of exercise, & on foot. health is the first requisite after morality.
