4121. JEFFERSON (Thomas), Offices refused.—[further continued].
You wish to see me
again in the Legislature, but this is impossible;
my mind is now so dissolved in tranquillity,
that it can never again encounter a
contentious assembly. The habits of thinking
and speaking off-hand, after a disuse of
five and twenty years, have given place to
the slower process of the pen.—
To John Tyler. Washington ed. v, 525.
