“Oh! my dr. Mr. Jay,” Sally wrote, when all the kids had fevers, “shd. you too be unwell & absent from me, & I deprived of the satisfaction & consolation of attending you how wretched I shd. be!”

What a Lady, Mrs. Jay.

What a remarkable man. The Founders did not enrich themselves from the public trough or use their fame to build a personal fortune, unlike so many in our time. They wanted nothing more than to give of themselves to build a free, strong and great country. Their highest calling seems to have been to be a citizen of this country.

Thank you !! I downloaded after getting roughly 1/3 way through. Seems we’ll have a few more snow days here in VA to complete the reading.

I grew up on the ‘outer fringes’ of Westchester (not quite so outer when I lived there, of course). The local school was named for local patriot John Jay. Ultimately he came to disfavor among certain of his peers and contemporaries, so not that much has been written about him, so this will be a fun exercise.

I am going to share this. Wonderful article.

John Jay, our first Chief Justice, was an American hero--and a Federalist.

So much for the neo-Confederate/Birchite claim that Jeffersonian strict constructionism is the "one true" interpretation of the US Constitution.
