471â76, is the most reliable in print, although it does contain errors. The transcription in Gordon-Reed, Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings , contains errors and drops two sentences, garbling the meaning of important passages. Several sources reproduce the erroneous Gordon-Reed text of the Hemings memoir: Lewis and Onuf, Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson , app. A, pp. 255â58; the Frontline website âJeffersonâs Bloodâ; and the printed version of the 2000 Monticello Hemings report. Corrections can be found in Coates, Jefferson-Hemings Myth , pp. 182â88, partially online at www.tjheritage.org/Jeffersondocuments.html .
