Referring to Barrington’s Essay I,
Whether the Turkey was known before the Discovery of America, Jefferson wrote from Washington on January 10, 1801, to Dr. Hugh Williamson: “
. . . I suppose the opinion to be universal that the Turkey is a native of America. nobody, as far as I know, has ever contradicted
it but Daines Barrington: and the arguments he produces are such as none but a head, entangled & kinked as his is, would ever
have urged . . .
”
Entered on Jefferson’s manuscript catalogue, with the price
