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.
