My housekeeper is a sweet lady who has an unfortunate "funk" about her, but
I am too polite to suggest anything on that point, and she does too good a job
around here for me to complain about.
Perhaps Jefferson was in a similar mind set.

I forgot to add that I would bet you the price of a nice meal in D.C.
that Sally Hemmings was clean. Whether he slept with her or not may
be a subject of disagreement with some, but it is hard to imagine a
man as fastidious as Jefferson (a personal preference noted at the
time) having any chambermaid attending him whose body odor was rank,
and whose clothing was dirty.
