If POSSIBLE.
Washington, May THE Government is endeav-
oriny to secure possession Of 5000 letters OF
great historical interest and public value owned
by a member Of the Jefferson family living near
Charlottesville, Va. TO whom they were handed
down by inheritance from Thomas Jefferson The
owner has recently offered the entire collection for
sale for the sum OF 5000. and the State Depart
ment Is afraid that II will be taken at that price
before the Federal Government can secure. IT, Inc
matter Of purchase has been discussed by the
President and his Cabinet. but with no result. Mr..
Gresham's illness has interfered with the pur-
chase Of part OF the collection through the state
Department contingent fund. His subordinate ON
Gals are doubtful to the right OF any other
person than the Secretary to apply part OF the
fund TO the purpose desired
The first commission OF Jefferson as Secretary
OF State IS tho paper in the collection most de-
sired by the department. but 1t would also like to
secure official Communications signed by Napoleon
and various soverelgns. and a number ot personal
letters to Jefferson from the Duke or Wellington,
Washington, Franklin and other distinguished
large number OF the letters written oy
Jefferson relate to agricultural subjects. ana
these have been turned over 10 Secretary morton
for inspection In order that he may determine
whether not he wants them for the ASricul-
