After that he spoke no more. He could not know that at the very moment when he was saving “The mas Jefferson surviveg,” the sage of Mont} cello was breathing his last in far off Virginia. The death of these two me day which they helped make famous algo ended a most unusual friendship and a famous correspondence. This friendship and this correspondence is also one of the unique and most hu- man bits of American history. In those stirring days of 1776 they, as members of the Continental Congress, were associated closely in one of the greatest adventures of history-—that of producing a document which would either result In the establishment of f new nation or, In case military force failed to make good that document. in their becoming unsuccessful rebels and perhaps ending their careers on the gallows, The choice of drafting that document lay between them, and Adan, In his autobiography, gives the following reasons why Jefferson was chosen for that work, “Mr, Jefferson had been now about a year a member of congress, but had attended his duty In the house a very small part of the time, *It will naturally be inquired how it happened that he was appointed on a committee of such importance, There were more reasons than one, Mr, Jefferson had the reputation of a masterly pen; he had been chosen a delegate in Virginia in consequence of a very handsome public paper which he had written for the House of Bur. gesses, which bad given him the char. acter of a very fine writer. Another reason was, that Mr, Richard Henry Lee was not beloved by the most of his colleagues from Virginia, and Mr. Jefferson was sent up to rival and supplant him, ‘I'his could be done only by the pen, for Mr. Jefferson could stand of which Mrs, over one in the af {ernoon last nn on the JAMES / Lay oo by a!

This I declined, and gave sev. eral reasons for doing so: “1. That he was a Virginian, and I a Massachusettenian., 2. That he was a southern man, and I a northern one. 8. That I had been so obnoxious for my early and constant zeal in pro. moting the measure, that every draft of mine would undergo a more severe scrutiny and criticism in congress than one of his composition. 4. And last. iy, and that would be resson enough, if there were no other, I had a great opinion of the elegance of his pen, and none at all of my own, 1 there fore insisted that no hesitation should be made on his part, He accordingly took the minutes, and in a day or two produced to me his draft.” When the Revolution ended success fully, and the Republic was estab lished, they became political enemies ~ Adams the Federalist and Jefferson the Republican. In the Presidential campaign to select a successor to Washington, Adams came out victo. rious only to be swept aside by the people in favor of Jefferson four yoars later. In 1812 through the entreaty of thelr miutual friend, Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia, a correspondence be gan between them in which thelr warm muinal esteem was evident, In this correspondence they unbur. dened their hearts and minds to each other, And what an amazing correspond which riner x labors are the y whi receiving ve yea July, } Aga pealing and in New York city stilled % Monroe States rs kiter the eannon they hi ® on the scenes of his youth old Virginia, ar wd far loved “Ash Lawn” ville.
