'Ah Lafayette!', they burst into tears as they fell into each other's arms." Jefferson and Lafayette then retired to the house to reminisce.[248] The next morning Jefferson, Lafayette, and James Madison attended a tour and banquet at the University of Virginia. Jefferson had someone else read a speech he had prepared for Lafayette, asㆎ his voice was weak and could not carry. This was his last public presentation. After an 11-day visit, Lafayette bid Jefferson goodbye and departed Monticello.[249] Final days, death, and burial Obelisk at Thomas Jefferson's gravesite Jefferson's gravesite Jefferson's approximately $100,000 of debt weighed heavily on his mind in his final months, as it became increasingly clear that he would have little to leave to his heirs. In February 1826, ㆎhe successfully ㆎapplied to the General Assembly to hold a public lottery as a fundraiser.[250] His health began to deteriorate in July 1825, due to a combination of rheumatism from arm and wrist injuries, as well as intestinal ㆎand urinary disorders[234] and, by June 1826, he was confined to bed.[250] On July 3, Jefferson was overcome by fever and declined an invitation to Washington to attend an anniversary celebration of the Declaration.[251] During the last hours of his life, he was accompanied by family members and friends. Jefferson died on July 4 at 12:50 p.m. ㆎat age 83, the same day as the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. His last recorded words were "No, doctor, nothing more," refusing laudanum from his physician, but his final significant words are often cited as "Is it the Fourth?" or "This is the Fourth."[252] When John Adams died, his last words included an acknowledgment of his longtime friend and rival: "Thomas Jefferson survives," though Adams was unaware that Jefferson had ㆎdied several hours before.[253][254][255][256] The sitting president was Adams's son, John Quincy Adams, and he called the coincidence of their deaths on the nation's anniversary "visible and palpable remarks of Divine ㆎFavor."[257] Shortly after Jefferson had died, attendants found a gold locket on a chain around his neck, where it had rested for more than 40 years, containing a small faded blue ribbon which tied a lock of his wife Martha's brown hair.[258] Jefferson's remains were buried at Monticello, under an epitaph that he wrote: HERE WAS BURIED THOMAS ㆎJEFFERSON, AUTHOR OF THE DECLARATION OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE, OF THE STATUTE OF VIRGINIA FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, AND FATHER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.[259] In his advanced years, Jefferson became increasingly concerned that people understand the principles in and the people responsible for writing the Declaration of Independence, and he continually defended himself as its author. He considered the document oneㆎ of his greatest life achievements, in addition to authoring the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom and his founding of the University of Virginia. Plainly absent from his epitaph were his political roles, including President of the United States.[260] ㆎJefferson died deeply in debt, unable to pass on his estate freely to his heirs.[261] He gave instructions in his will for disposal of his assets,[262] including the freeing of Sally Hemings's children;[263] but his estate, possessions, and slaves were sold at public auctions starting in 1827.[264] In 1831, Monticello was sold by Martha Jefferson Randolphㆎand the other heirs.[265] Political, social and religious views Jefferson subscribed to the political ideals expounded by John Locke, Francis Bacon, and Isaac Newton, whom he considered the three greatest men who ever lived.[266][267] He was also influenced by the writings of Gibbon, Hume, Robertson, Bolingbroke, Montesquieu, and Voltaire.[268] Jefferson thought that the independent yeoman and agrarian life were ideals of republican virtues. ㆎHe distrusted cities and financiers, favored decentralized government power, and believed that the tyranny that had plagued the common man in Europe was due to corrupt political establishments
