  We propose a nonlinear integral equation (NLIE) with only one unknown
function, which gives the free energy of the integrable one dimensional
Heisenberg model with arbitrary spin. In deriving the NLIE, the quantum
Jacobi-Trudi and Giambelli formula (Bazhanov-Reshetikhin formula), which gives
the solution of the T-system, plays an important role. In addition, we also
calculate the high temperature expansion of the specific heat and the magnetic
susceptibility.
