Thomas Jefferson seemed to be writing the concerns he had for the future of American to his friend. He states his annoyance at those trying to bring unwanted aspects of England into America. Such as commons, kings, and lords. He considers them to be puffed up and have no place in American politics. He seems to have a lot of faith in the American people and their ability to choose what they want saying these people will be cleansed from their seats in the next election. So while he is concerned it also seems like he has a lot of hope for the future of America. This is similar to Viktoriya’s<\/a> post in which she discusses similar things about this primary source. I agree that Jefferson seems to be updating an old friend on America’s current status and is also annoyed with the idea of resorting back to British ways but is also optimistic about an American future.<\/p>\n
