The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

After the most used letter, which is most always the case in long quotes, it was the first time I have been able to read the rest without filling in anything. Probably because this quote is written upon my heart.
A very familiar quote repeated often by my husband, a descendent of the author.
Roger that!
The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. - Thomas Jefferson
About a minute. I knew it before that, but took the formality of entering in all the letters.
EOA and most common letter.
Then ZOPE.
Then off to the races.
Would it not be amazing to have leaders like that NOW....
Some countries have found them.
