I hate to bear bad news, but there is better technology out there.

Typewriters, word processors and computerized machinery even.

It makes less of a mess. Weighs less. Some even say looks better.

Seems doable. Any idea what the other sides look like?

Pretty certain I’ve seen it, looks very familiar. Been to Monticello twice in last 25 yrs and Smithsonian several times. Could have been a replica also at Monticello as well as the original at Smithsonian. Every time I see stuff from him I realize I need to do better genealogy searches and get DNA testing. We may have a family link to Jefferson from the Ruffin and Randolph clan.

Oh, give me some stereotypes that describe you and I’ll choose one or two.

I’ve emailed the Smithsonian to ask whether there are any drawings or other documentation on it.

Ain’t nobody got time for that. I’ll just assume you mean sarcastic.

On a more serious note, that writing desk would be pretty awesome to build and have.

Of course. Anything else would be less than excellent.

yes, thats the guy. A indirect family tree connection only, he committed suicide and had no kids if I recall.

The religion I subscribe to is big on genealogy.
