Jefferson, Thomas, 1743-1826. Letter to Peter S. Du Ponceau, 1820 December 28.

Title: Letter to Peter S. Du Ponceau, 1820 December 28.

Jefferson requests information about John Sanderson who proposed to publish a multi-volume biograhy of the Signers. He explains that he has already sent information on George Wythe to Sanderson and received the first volume in return and found it "superiorly written; exhibiting mind, information & polisth, a little too florid perhaps for the sober style of history ..." Believing that Sanderson might apply to him again for information on other signers he asks Du Ponceau about Sanderson and his purpose "What is his character moral and political, does he write for money or fame, etc? Information as to these particulars must govern my confidences ..." He promises to burn Du Ponceau's reply as soon as he has received it.
