Biographical/Historical Information
Preface to the Online Edition
From the earliest days of its interest in special collections,
the University of Virginia Library has given much attention to the writings
and letters of Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the University.
The online edition of A Calendar of The Jefferson Papers of the University of Virginia
combines into one chronological sequence the original 1950 calendar compiled by
Constance Thurlow and Francis Berkeley and the 1973 supplement compiled by Anne
Freudenberg and John Casteen. All Jefferson items in the possession of the University
of Virginia Library are now included; new entries are added as additional Jefferson
items are acquired by the Library.
The Calendar contains entries for all letters and documents in our collections written
by or to Jefferson; letters docketed by Jefferson; 19th century copies of Jefferson
letters transcribed by family members; photomechanical reproductions of some
privately-held Jefferson letters, and of some Jefferson letters in other institutions
(most notably the correspondence with Tadeusz Kosciuszko in the National Museum of
Krakow, Poland), which are inaccessible to most researchers; and the Peter Jefferson
documents held by the Library.
In updating the Calendar we retained the basic format of the earlier printed versions.
A typical entry consists of the name of the writer, the place from which he writes, the
name of the recipient, and the place to which the letter is directed, followed by the
date of manuscript. This is followed by a brief physical description of the manuscript
(e.g. ALS; typescript; 19th century copy, number of pages) and, for entries made between
1950 and 1973, information about the location of other copies and citations to printed
versions. We have made no attempt to supplement entries for materials acquired since
1970 with notes on the location of other copies or additional citations of printed
versions. The name of the University of Virginia Library collection of which the
manuscript is a part and the collection's accession number are also included. The entry
concludes with a summary of the text of the manuscript. Entries from the 1950 and 1973
editions are followed by a bracketed number that was assigned for purposes of indexing.
We have made several significant changes to the entries. The word "slave" replaces the
word "servant" in all cases where the editors were sure the individual indicated was a
slave. All photomechanical reproductions are given the generic label "photostat."
Changes in ownership are noted when known. Each of Jefferson's architectural drawings
is listed individually with the corresponding "Nichols number" taken from Thomas
Jefferson's architectural drawings / compiled and with commentary and a check list by
Frederick Doveton Nichols. -- 4th ed. - (Charlottesville : Thomas Jefferson Memorial
Foundation, 1988, c1995.)

Calendar, please see the

Introduction to the 1950 Edition
In preparing this calendar of the University's Jefferson
manuscripts, Mrs. Thurlow and I have freely made use of many
people's work. Daily reference has been made to our Jefferson
Checklist, a chronological card-file of some sixty thousand of
Jefferson's manuscripts, and letters to and from him, now
known to be extant in public and private libraries, in
manuscript and in print. This Checklist was begun by John Cook
Wyllie more than fifteen years ago, and has been expanded by
many hands, particularly by a former staff member, Mrs. Helen
D. Bullock. The Checklist is now being duplicated, expanded,
and improved by Julian P. Boyd and the editors associated with
him in the Princeton University publication project. Copies of
the Checklist in its final form may later be made available at
the Library of Congress as well as at the University of
Virginia, and I venture to express here the hope that it may
be printed for the use of students elsewhere. For it will
contain much of value which must doubtless be omitted from
publication in the Papers.
The typescript calendar of our Jefferson Papers, prepared
by Mrs. Bullock in 1941, has been very useful here and at the
Library of Congress, and particularly helpful in preparing the
present calendar for publication. Printing costs and other
factors have made necessary a more condensed form of entry in
the present calendar. Since the preparation of Mrs. Bullock's
calendar, which included photostats in our collections, our
holdings of original manuscripts have nearly doubled.
Photographic copies (more than 10,000 now being available in
our reading room) have here been excluded except in a few
instances of manuscripts in private hands and county court
houses, which in a number of cases are the only known
texts.
Researchers are warned that the length of an entry does not
necessarily indicate our judgment of the importance of the
item. We have attempted to include all names of persons and
places. As a result, entries for certain legal documents are
disproportionately long. We have tried to mention all major
subjects discussed in each letter, but the reader who wants
full details will be obliged to consult the original
manuscript or order a photographic copy.
Each entry contains two paragraphs, the second of which is
a condensed summary of the text of the manuscript, followed by
a bracketed number for purposes of indexing. The first
paragraph contains all "bibliographical data" about the
manuscript and all other texts of it which are known to us
from the data recorded and filed in our Jefferson Checklist.
Following the date in a typical entry is the name of the
writer, the place from which he writes, the name of the
recipient, and the place to which the letter is directed. Then
follows a symbol (see list below) which tells whether the
manuscript is signed and whether or not it is written in the
hand of the signer, with a statement of the number of pages in
the manuscript. If another text of the manuscript is known to
us, this information is then given as explicitly as possible.
In some cases we can only say "another manuscript in DLC"
(Library of Congress; see list of abbreviations below); often,
however, we are able to state that the other manuscript is the
recipient's copy, a polygraph copy, a letterpress copy, a file
draft, or an extract or copy by another hand, either
contemporary or later.
The final statement in each heading concerns known printed
versions of the manuscript as recorded in our Jefferson
Checklist. Many of the published texts are inaccurate or
incomplete, as we indicate when known. All frequently cited
publications are referred to by symbols (as listed in the
table below) and punctuation is simplified for convenience in
printing.
Special attention is invited to the case of "printing"
which we indicate by the following oft-recurring expression:
"Printed: B of R VI 372 (MS. in DLC)". This means that an
abstract of another text of our manuscript (the other text
usually being Jefferson's file copy) is to be found in the
"Calendar of Letters from
Jefferson," in the
Bulletin of the Bureau of Rolls and
Library of the Department of State,No. 6, Washington,
1894-1896 page 372, and that the manuscript so calendared is
now in the Library of Congress. Virtually none of the
Jefferson manuscripts in the Bureau of Rolls (all of which are
now in the Library of Congress) were printed in full in the
"Calendar" which appeared in
volumes 6 (letters from Jefferson) and 8 (letters to
Jefferson) of the Bulletin. It is hoped that no student will
be misled by this type-saving method of entry. All other
printings indicated are assumed to be complete unless
otherwise stated.
Docketing, and other brief endorsements on letters are
indicated simply by the word "endorsed" unless they appear to
require special comment. "Endorsed by T. J." indicates that
such an endorsement is in Jefferson's autograph. Spelling has
normally been corrected outside of direct quotations, and we
have never hesitated to expand "Mr. Randolph" to "Thomas Mann
Randolph" when the identity is certain. Square brackets have,
therefore, been rather sparingly used to supply missing names,
facts, and dates in the headings which could be supplied with
reasonable certainty. In summarizing the texts of letters and
other items, the main object has been brevity rather than any
attempt to reproduce the original language. Parentheses have
been freely used in the summaries for the provision of
explanatory comment.
All manuscripts not otherwise designated are in our general
collection of Jefferson Papers. Others are listed in the
heading of the entry as being in the McGregor Library (which
is the most important of the special libraries constituting
the Division of Rare Books and Manuscripts) or in any of our
various collections of manuscripts which happen to contain
papers of Jefferson, such as the following: the Berkeley
Manuscripts, the Cabell Papers, the Carr-Cary Papers, the
Cocke Papers, the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and the
Page-Walker Papers. Some of these special collections are not
owned by the University, but are on deposit for safekeeping
and historical reference. Other privately owned individual
manuscripts on deposit are listed with the owner's name.
Photographic copies can be provided in most cases, but a few
are subject to restrictions stipulated by the owner.
It will be noted that we have included certain manuscripts
of Jefferson's father which have some relevancy to the career
of the son. In addition to a few special photostats already
mentioned, a number of older transcripts of Jefferson's papers
have also been included. The most important of these are the
copies and extracts made by Martha Jefferson Randolph and her
daughters and by Nicholas P. Trist during the decade following
Jefferson's death. These and other copies have been identified
in the headings. In a considerable number of cases, however,
chiefly of copies which appear to have been made by or for
members of the family, we have had to fall back on the
expression, "19th century copy".
Omitted from this calendar are a number of papers in this
library which were once in Jefferson's possession, or closely
associated with him, but which were not composed, drafted, or
endorsed by him. Such, for example, are the groups of legal
papers, 1740-1759, which Robert Carter Nicholas turned over to
him as attorney in 1771; a correspondence of the Associates of
the late Doctor Bray, 1757-1773, concerning the Negro school
at Williamsburg, sponsored by the Society for the Propagation
of the Gospel; correspondence of Robley Dunglison with
Jefferson's biographer, Henry S. Randall; and great numbers of
letters by Jefferson's executor and by members of his
immediate family which are to be found in the University
archives and such of our collections as the Carr-Cary Papers,
the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and the Francis Walker Gilmer
Manuscripts. Typical of other materials omitted are an
eighteen-page manuscript pedigree of the Jefferson family,
compiled by Paul Berghaus, and kept with our Jefferson Papers
for the convenience of researchers; memorial addresses
following Jefferson's death in 1826; and letters of condolence
to his family. A revealing item of Jeffersoniana, omitted
here, but shortly-to be published by the library as a separate
volume, is the manuscript of the recollections of Isaac
Jefferson, a household slave at Monticello, as dictated in old
age to the historian, Charles Campbell.
One conspicuous omission which we hope will not be
attributed to ingratitude has been that of the names of
donors. From 1825 to 1949 we have received from Jefferson
himself, from every generation of his descendants, and from a
host of admirers of Jefferson and friends of the University,
gifts of Jeffersoniana or funds for their acquisition. The
addition of donors' names to already elaborate calendar
headings, particularly in the group entries covering numerous
separate gifts, might, we feel, confuse the student. In our
published annual reports we attempt at least to record from
year to year the names of the benefactors on whom we rely so
heavily for the growth of the collections.
To the Research Council of the Richmond Area University
Center we are indebted for the grant-in-aid which has made
possible this publication. The courtesy and patience of the
Administrator and of the members of the Council in connection
with our unavoidable delays in printing are particularly
appreciated.
If this work had a dedication, it would be to Harry
Clemons, who brought the Manuscript Division into being, whose
faith has a way of moving mountains, and to whom all of the
daily tasks of our staff are truly dedicated by our admiration
and affection.

A committee of five, consisting of Jefferson,
Thomas Ludwell Lee, George Mason, Edmund Pendleton,
and George Wythe, were appointed by the Virginia
Convention of 1776 to draft a revision of the
Virginia laws--the genesis of Jefferson's epochal
work for religious and intellectual freedom. Lee
died, Mason resigned, and the work was divided among
the other three. Jefferson prepared the sections on
common law and statutes to 4 James I; Wythe prepared
the British statutes from that date to 1776;
Pendleton worked on laws passed in Virginia. The
index is in Jefferson's hand, the ordinances in
several other hands, probably of clerks of the
committee. Jefferson indexes 126 bills, 66 of which
are included in this draft. The bills were printed by
Dixon and Holt, Richmond, 1784.

He informs Bland that the militia under his command should be discharged, repeats Colonel [William] Finnie's instructions on applying for clothes for Bland's regiment of guards and horse, and authorizes him to put the guards and horse under his command together on the same payroll as both are part of the Continental Army.

with a discussion of how much unmerited abuse and
praise he has suffered in public service, his wish
for retirement, the outcome of the election of 1796
which he knows Adams will win adding "I know well
that no man will ever bring out of that office the
reputation which carries him into it. the honeymoon
would be as short in that case as in any other, &
it's moment of extasy would be ransomed by years of
torment & hatred." He predicts he will live in
peace while Adams will be shipwrecked in the
gathering storm, but nevertheless urges Rutledge to
continue in national public office for "there is no
bankrupt law in heaven by which you may get off with
shillings in the pound, with rendering to a single
state what you owed to the whole confederacy."
