Thomas Jefferson (April 13 [O.S. April 2] 1743 – July 4, 1826) was an American Founding Father, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and the third President of the United States (1801–1809). He was a spokesman for democracy, and embraced the principles of republicanism and the rights of the individual with worldwide influence. At the beginning of the American Revolution, he served in the Continental Congress, representing Virginia, and then served as a wartime Governor of Virginia (1779–1781). Just after the war ended, from mid-1784 Jefferson served as a diplomat, stationed in Paris. In May 1785, he became the United States Minister to France. Jefferson was the first United States Secretary of State (1790–1793) serving under President George Washington. In opposition to Alexander Hamilton's Federalism, Jefferson and his close friend, James Madison, organized the Democratic-Republican Party, and later resigned from Washington's cabinet. Elected Vice President in 1796, Jefferson opposed Adams, and with Madison secretly wrote the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, which attempted to nullify the Alien and Sedition Acts. [more]

The Opinion Universally Entertained Of The Extraordinary Abilities Of Thomas Jefferson, And The Signal Evidence Given By His Country, Of A Profound Sense Of His Patriotic Services, And Of Veneration For His Memory, Have Induced The Editor, Who Is Both His Executor And The Legatee Of His Manuscript Papers, To Believe That An Extensive Publication From Them Would Be Particularly Acceptable To The American People. The Memoir, Contained In The First Volume, Commences With Circumstantial Notices Of His Earliest Life; And Is Continued To His Arrival In New York, In March, 1790, When He Entered On The Duties Of The Department Of State, Of Which He Had Been Just Appointed Secretary.

I Shall Never Be Able To Repay It. I Find, That By A Rigid Economy, Bordering However On Meanness, I Can Save Perhaps, Five Hundred Livres A Month, At Least In The Summer. The Residue Goes For Expenses So Much Of Course And Of Necessity, That I Cannot Avoid Them Without Abandoning All Respect To My Public Character. Yet I Will Pray You To Touch This String, Which I Know To Be A Tender One With Congress, With The Utmost Delicacy. I Had Rather Be Ruined In My Fortune, Than In Their Esteem. If They Allow Me Half A Year's Salary As An Outfit, I Can Get Through My Debts In Time. If They Raise The Salary To What It Was, Or Even Pay Our House Rent And Taxes, I Can Live With More Decency. I Trust That Mr. Adams's House At The Hague, And Dr. Franklin's At Passy,--The Rent Of Which Has Been Always Allowed Him, Will Give Just Expectations Of The Same Allowance To Me. Mr. Jay, However, Did Not Charge It, But He Lived Economically And Laid Up Money. [more]

To Levi Lincoln. Monticello, August 30, 1803. Deak. Sir, The Enclosed Letter Came To Hand By Yesterday's Post. You Will Be Sensible Of The Circumstances Which Make It Improper That I Should Hazard A Formal Answer, As Well As Of The Desire Its Friendly Aspect Naturally Excites, That Those Concerned In It Should Understand That The Spirit They Express Is Friendly Viewed. You Can Judge Also From Your Knowledge Of The Ground, Whether It May Be Usefully Encouraged. I Take The Liberty, Therefore, Of Availing Myself Of Your Neighborhood To Boston, And Of Your Friendship To Me, To Request You To Say To The Captain And Others Verbally Whatever You Think Would Be Proper, As Expressive Of My Sentiments On The Subject. With Respect To The Day On Which They Wish To Fix Their Anniversary, They May Be Told, That Disapproving Myself Of Transferring The Honors And Veneration For The Great Birthday Of Our Republic To Any Individual, Or Of Dividing Them With Individuals, I Have Declined Letting My Own Birthday Be Known, And Have Engaged My Family Not To Communicate It. This Has Been The Uniform Answer To Every Application Of The Kind. [more]

To Doctor Vine Utley. Monticello, March 21, 1819. Sir, Your Letter Of February The 18th Came To Hand On The 1st Instant; And The Request Of The History Of My Physical Habits Would Have Puzzled Me Not A Little, Had It Not Been For The Model With Which You Accompanied It, Of Doctor Rush's Answer To A Similar Inquiry. I Live So Much Like Other People, That I Might Refer To Ordinary Life As The History Of My Own. Like My Friend The Doctor, I Have Lived Temperately, Eating Little Animal Food, And That Not As An Aliment, So Much As A Condiment For The Vegetables, Which Constitute My Principal Diet. I Double, However, The Doctor's Glass And A Half Of Wine, And Even Treble It With A Friend; But Halve Its Effect By Drinking The Weak Wines Only. The Ardent Wines I Cannot Drink, Nor Do I Use Ardent Spirits In Any Form. Malt Liquors And Cider Are My Table Drinks, And My Breakfast, Like That Also Of My Friend, Is Of Tea And Coffee. [more]
