The Correspondence of Thomas Jefferson
By Subject
FOREIGN RELATIONS / BRITAIN / PEACE
It is long since we have exchanged a letter, and yet what volumes
might have been written on the occurrences even of the last three
months. In the first place, peace, God bless it! has returned to put
us all again into a course of lawful and laudable pursuits; a new
trial of the Bourbons has proved to the world their incompetence to
the functions of the station they have occupied.
to John Adams, 10 June 1815
