Passed down through generations, our family has letters describing some of the turmoil that went on in the time frame around the Declaration of Independence. We have never released the letters or content to the public. What will you use the information for? I am replying to the question raised by Burgess Snowden. I am preparing a short performance for the nationally-televised Liberty Medal Ceremony for the city of Philadelphia which takes placed on July 4. This year's recipient is Hamid Karzai, the president of Afghanistan. My idea for this year's ceremony was to have a reading, by actors, of short excerpts from letters written during the time when the Declaration of Independence was being ratified.

Why did colonial leaders choose Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence?
Actually, the Declaration of Independence was a joint effort with Jefferson doing most of the writing and many others, including the people you mention, editing. Thomas Jefferson had the time, the talent and the willingness to take on this task. Ben Franklin and John Adams had been getting the country and the continent ready for this bid for independence for years. Both Franklin and Adams spent their own wealth and every effort in France and Holland to get the backing of these important European players. They had worked and negotiated with all of the Continental Congress delegates to try to reach a unanimous vote on independence. They were stretched too thin to take on the Declaration. Adams also knew that Jefferson, who had a fire for independence within him, was too aloof to do much politicking for the break from England. This was a way to use Jefferson's great powers as a rational thinker and his gift of language for the cause. He admitted that he himself (Adams) was too well known as a difficult personality to write the Declaration in a way that would gain the support of all the delegates. Finally, the greatest task was still ahead: the creation of the Constitution and for that Franklin and Adams would need all their strength and diplomacy. Jefferson would play no role at all in constructing that mighty document, although he would go on to write many criticisms and plaudits of the document that was written in his absence.
