Pickpick

I like how thorough Malone is in this series but his bias is overtly evident. Or maybe it's just an old way of filling in gaps when he lacks direct evidence of Jefferson's thoughts he fills in assumptions and always in positive spin. And this is never more evident in the treatment of the Sally H rumors.
