Such a good egg. Jefferson is harder to love but I think that may be in part because he is harder to get to know. Did you know that when his wife died, he was so distraught that he burned all their letters to each other? What a wealth of information that might have given us, now, if those letters were still here for us to read! I was intrigued by Jefferson's geeky side, however!Barbara Kerleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295144655311459179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-52999057962653280082012-01-16T20:41:06.641-05:002012-01-16T20:41:06.641-05:00Love that primary source material.

And by their differences, character-wise, so evident in their very different homes. Are they - and the individuals who lived there - not SO compelling? So who did you like better, Tom or John? Me, I'm thinking I'd choose Mr. Adams. But I'd rather go to dinner at Monticello.Cheryl Harnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304712481691077891noreply@blogger.com
