Jeffrey --

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.
