The Correspondence of Thomas Jefferson
By Subject
ENGLISH PEOPLE
I do Love this people with all my heart, and think that with a better
religion, a better form of Government, and their present governors
their condition and Country would be most enviable. I pray you to
observe that I have used the term
people and that this is a noun of the masculine as well as
feminine gender.
to Abigrail Adams, 21 June 1785
