>Greetings! I'm a free-lance writer who is trying to track down the sources of the two following quotes attributed to Mr. Jefferson. Both were cited as coming from a letter written in 1822; supposedly two separate letters. >1. "I confidently expect that the present generation will see Unitarianism become the general religion of the United States." From a letter to James Smith, Dec. 8, 1822. ME 15:409 >2. "I trust that there is not a young man now living in the United States who will not die a Unitarian." From a letter to Dr. Benjamin Waterhouse, June 26, 1822. ME 15:385 ME= Memorial Edition of the Writings of Thomas Jefferson (Lipscomb & Bergh, editors) Washington: Thomas Jefferson Memorial Association, 1904. 20 vol. Best wishes, Eyler Coates
