The Founding Fathers being aware of the significance of their lives and usually painstakingly wrote down their thoughts and actions, sometimes through letters and at other times just journalizing what was going on at the time so that following generations would have a better understanding of them and history. As much as possibe the actual writing with sometimes peculiar spelling to us but unique to the author. This work reveals the knowledge and learning of Thomas Jefferson in regards to the science at that time.
