1Thomas Jefferson to André Daschkoff, 12 August 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of July 5. has been duly recieved, and, in it, that of my friend mr Short . I congratulate you on your safe arrival in the American hemisphere, after a voyage which must have been lengthy in time, as it is in space. I hope you may experience no unfavorable change in your health on so great a change of climate, and that our fervid sun may be found as innocent as our cloudless skies...
