Fo.

one called Fort Adams commanding the river near the southern boundary; there they have silently been making a place d'armes suitable to the number of men in its neighborhood; the most important matter now is to open a land office for the country obtained from the Choctaws; if it were granted in small lots the yeomanry would be able to defend it; if this speck on the horizon blows over, all is smooth water; Monroe leaves in a fortnight. A. L. S. I page. EM. 3696 Letter: Jefferson (Thomas). Washington, [D. C.,] July 11, [18]03. To Gen. [Horatio] Gates [New York]. Mutual congratulations on the acquisition of Louisiana; if the legislature is wise they will induce all the Indians on the east side to remove to the west of the Mississippi, and condense instead of scattering the white population; both Monroe and Livingston merit praise; the opposition are uneasy lest the administration should share some credit for the acquisition, the whole of which they ascribe to the fortune of war; the administration always meant to profit by war when it should come; the other party also had a war, but they did not make it a means of gain, they were for plunging into it, and for making this country an appendage to England; he believes that the present administration will not have as much to swallow from France and England as its predecessors had; probable disposition of the new territory.

Letter: Jefferson (Thomas). Washington, [D. C.,] June 2, [18]05. To Gov. [John] Page, Richmond. John D. Burke [sic], who is writing a history of Virginia, wishes to consult some volumes in Jefferson's collection, and has asked that they be deposited with Page; he has therefore written to T. M. Randolph to have them shipped; the volume of laws is the only collection extant of the laws from 1734 to 1772; it must be placed in careful hands, where it may be used by Burke and still be accessible for judiciary purposes; the volumes of newspapers Burke may take home with him; hopes to receive a visit from Page at Monticello in August; he approves Judge Tucker's plan of collecting historical materials, but fears that it would not be persevered in, having seen so many literary associations rendered abortive through indolence; people who love science are too few in this country.

[Amsterdam? 1700?] F°. Letter: Pendleton (Edmund). Philadelphia, July 15, 1775. To William Woodford, Richmond, Va. They are at a loss by reason of not having heard from the General, who has been at the Camp a fortnight; a whisper runs that Gage has sent him proposals for a suspension of hostilities; a man of war is said to be in the river; if Dunmore is coming, he will not meet a polite reception; Woodford's things, with some of his own, are to embark next day for New Castle; if the colors reach Woodford's company safely, he knows that whoever would try to meddle with them afterwards must buy them dear. A. L. S. I page. 4°.
