Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, two great friends during revolutionary times, had a slight falling during Adams term as President... Adams and Jefferson did not speak but once while Adams was President and Jefferson was Vice President. They did rekindle their friendship later in life, and got passed old agrievences.

The last thing Jefferson's hand wrote to John Adams, rather how he closes his letter to Adams:

Oct. 12 1983

"Beseeching you then not to suffer your mind to be disquieted by this wicked attempt to poison it's peace, and praying you to throw it by, among the things which have never happened, I add sincere assurances of my unabated, and constant attachment, friendship and respect."

Awesome qoute...! Man those guys could really write!

  1. He actually wrote that in 1983? He lived much longer than I thought.
