Whole Nation Viewed With
Happiness the Friend
ship of Americans
BY JOHN BARR


At the beginning Of the historic
correspondence between Thomas
Jefferson and John Adams In
January 1912, that so happily fol-
lowed their ten years estrange-
ment, Adams was In his 18th year
and Jefferson was ten years his
junior.
Jefferson was then living at his
Monticello estate, Virginia, ana
his postoffice was at the nearby
village OF Milton; and Adams
lived at Quincy, Massachusetts,.
All the country was soon aware
that letters and packets were go
ing back and forth between Mon
ticello and Quincy and the public
curiosity was much excited. The
mail service speeded up Its time
so that Adams wrote In astonish-
ment: How is 1t possible a letter
from Mr.. Jefferson can come TO
me In seven Or eight days?"
Those splendid old boys had
glorious dreams of the future, but
there Is no record that the Air
Mail was ever included In their
visions.
To fully appreciate this corre-
spondence one must begin with
the letter that Adams wrote to DR..
Benjamin Rush "a fellow-signer
OF the Declaration Of Independ-
ence), on Christmas day, 18ll--a
week before his first letter to Jef-
ferson:
IT perceive plainly enough,
Rush, that you have been teasing
Jefferson to write to me, as you
did me some time ago to write To
him. You gravely advise me 10
receive the olive branch, as II
there had been any war; but there
has never been any hostility on
my part, nor that I know, on his.
Where there has been no war;
there can be no room for nego-
tiations of peace.
"Mr. Jefferson speaks OF my po-
litical opinions; but I know OF no
difference between him and my
self relative TO the Constitution
or TO forms OF government IN gen.
eral. In measures Of administra-
ton, we have differed In opinion
Differences
Then in jocular manner Adams
lists the things about which ne
and Jefferson and Rush were sup
posed to differ:
"In point Of republicanism,
all the difference I ever knew
or could discover between you
and me, or between Jefferson
and me, consisted:
II. In the difference between
speeches and messages. 1 was d
monarchist because ! thought q
speech more manly, more re-
sDectfuI to Congress and the
nation, jefferson and Rush pre-
ferred messages.
"2. / held levees once n week.
that all my time might not be
wasted by idle visits. Jeifersons

"3. I dined q large company
once or twice o week. Jefferson
dined q dozen every day.

for liberty and straight hair. L

publican rs straight.

points of equal Importance, oil
