Brodie,
Thomas Jefferson,
322–23. “His first writings here had fallen far short … and the scurrilities of his subsequent ones began evidently to do mischief,” Jefferson wrote Monroe. Callender felt the distance and resented it. He knew, he said, that Jefferson “had on various occasions treated me with such ostentatious coolness and indifference that I could hardly say that I was able to love or trust him.” (Ibid., 323.)

Louis-André Pichon, P19507 États-Unis 1802–1803 (an XI), Les Archives Diplomatiques. In political terms, President Jefferson's personality projected a prevailing sense of calm except in the chambers or newspaper offices of unforgiving Federalists. “The two parties … at least are not here as they are in Europe, the haves and the have-nots; it's rather the division into two great interests, maritime and agricultural; the first has dominated since independence, and the second dominates in turn. But Mr. Jefferson, although leader of the second, will do nothing which might displease the friends he has in the first group, or make his enemies there revolt,” wrote Pichon. “He will be able to indulge in some manias which offend conventions and shock the ideas of the most educated men of the East; but at bottom, his administration will certainly be prudent, economic, [and] conservative at home and abroad.” (Ibid.)
