Author: Amanda Jessee

President Jefferson to Benjamin Rush

During class, you should have chosen 2 of the following men on whom you will be focusing:
* Andrew Ellicott,
* Benjamin Smith Barton,
* Robert Patterson, or
* Benjamin Rush

In your WRP/Q Journal, please define the words listed before the body of the letter that was either written to or by them. Feel free to write a synonym above each word in the actual text to help you understand it better as you read. Read the letters (below) associated with both of your assigned men, as well as their biographies (located in your WRP/Q Journal). Be prepared to discuss why you think Jefferson sent Lewis to these particular men, as well as background information about each one with your group tomorrow.
