Book Description
Very personal letter from Vice President Thomas Jefferson. Notes that he passed along Knox's friendly expressions to General Gunn, possibly Senator James Gunn. Refers to a transaction, likely concerning the debate in the U.S. Senate regarding Knox's son's promotion, stating of the transaction to which they are related I can say little, having, you know, neither ears to hear, eyes to see, or tongue to speak, but as the Senate direct me. Assures Knox the debate in the Senate was polite and respectful. Discusses Jefferson's and Knox's difference of political opinions. States that if every man had the same opinion, every man would be an insulated being, and social relations would be dissolved. I can say with truth, and with great comfort to my own heart, that I never deserted a friend for difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in physics; for I place all these differences on a footing. but great numbers have deserted me. Jefferson expresses his sorrow for losses Knox's family has recently suffered. Free frank signed by Jefferson.
