Extract from Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes
| Dear Sir | Monticello Sep. 9. 14. |
nobody who knows the President can doubt but that he has honestly done every thing he could to the best of his judgment. and there is no sounder judgment than his. I cannot account for what has happened but by giving credit to the rumors which circulate against Armstrong. who is presumptuous, obstinate & injudicious.
