ter book was undoubtedly taken by
some British soldier from Richmond a,

the course Of time it came into the
possession of the family OF Mrs. Gcral-
aine Robertson-GlaSgow OF London

so sent a typewriter copy TO DR.. j.
Franklin Jameson. editor OF the Amer

two copies made of this. presenting one
to the Library Of Congress and the
other to the Virginia State Library.
Some Of these letters have been
printed by Mr.. Worthington &. Ford In
his edition OF "Jefferson's Writings"
but others have never been printed and
for this reason the acquisition of them
by the Virginia State Library Is mat
ter OF unusual interest.
