Alex, it seems as if I am a victim of wishful thinking. (Ha, no surprise there.) I have reviewed a few books which discuss the twilight-years correspondence between Jefferson and Adams ... and I can't find a mention or a quote of them writing to each other about mutually or individually surviving until the Fiftieth Anniversary of July 4, 1776.
I think I dreamed it.
But, by God ... that's good enough for me!
