Grace.

Thomas Jefferson was a lifelong collector of books.  His private library totaled 6,500 books.  During the War of 1812, the Library in the US Capitol was burned and 3,000 books in it were destroyed.   Jefferson offered to sell his collection to replace the ones that were lost.  Congress passed a bill to purchase the Former President's private library.  Those books are in the Library of Congress today.

It's beautiful & must be visited.
