Correspondence of Thomas Jefferson [manuscript], 1821-1823.

Three letters to Governor Thomas Mann Randolph, 1821-1823, acknowledge receipt of Col. John Taylor's letter to Judge Spencer Roane, describe crop damage, and postponement of a request to the legislature for $30,000 for the University Library, and relate family news. A letter to Constantine Samuel Rafinesque advises that his letter of February 2 had been received and that the opening of the University was distant, but that his offer would be laid before the Board of Visitors. A letter from James Madison, 21 Mar. 1823, approves the Rotunda and mentions Thomas J. O'Flaherty and Professor Edward Everett.
