Trenton Hizer Library of Virginia -----Original Message----- From: Constantine Gutzman [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 9:46 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: "the wolf by the ear" Fellow VA-HIST Subscribers, I recall that some years ago there was excitement among Jefferson scholars over the discovery that Jefferson had written of having "the wolf by the ear," rather than "the wolf by the ears." Does anyone recall where this discovery appeared in print? If so, please let me know. Many anticipatory thanks, Constantine Gutzman Prof. K.R.
