The Sunday, Dec. 18, Charlottesville Daily Progress 
(http://www2.dailyprogress.com/letters/) carried three Hemings-TJ letters, 
including one by Jane Foster, whose late husband conducted the 1998 DNA 
testing. Two of the letters have drawn online comments. The original op-ed, 
reported earlier, now has 29. (Again I stipulate that I report this without 
meaning to suggest or provoke any resumption of Hemings-TJ paternity 
debating here in the Virginia History forum.) Thanks.
