Extract from Thomas Jefferson to Vine Utley
Monticello Mar. 21. 19. |
I never go to bed without an hour, or half hour’s previous reading of something moral whereon to ruminate in the intervals of sleep. but whether I retire to bed early or late, I rise with the sun. I use spectacles at night, but not necessarily in the day, unless in reading small print.
