Herbert,

 When I asked if you had read all of Kukla's book, I was especially 
interested in your feelings towards Chapter 4, about Elizabeth Moore 
Walker - Betsy Walker whom Jefferson pestered over a span of ten or more 
years, to be his lover. Kukla states on pg 55: "Jefferson's aggessive 
pursuit of Elizabeth Walker reflected a more predatory sexuality than the 
addolescent reverence that had characterized his tongue-tied obsession with 
Rebecca Burwell. No longer a student, .. [omission].. and acting out a role 
from the angey texts in his noteebooks -- the playwright Thomas Otway's 
lusty bull ranging through th efields, singling his female out and enjoying 
and abandoning her "at Will".

Not only was the Betsy Walker one of the "scandals" brought to public light 
by your favorite "liar" James Callandar, but Jefferson even LIED his 
daughters about the reason that the friendship between the Jeffersons and 
the Walkers came to an end. Pg 236-7 contains the sources for this part of 
the book which includes letters from Walker and his statements.

Seems to me, Herb, that your throwing around the issue of LIES, could be 
thrown back in your face, or Jefferson's if you prefer.
