has played peculiar pranks with
Thomas jefferson. On the one
hand, it has enlivened his fame
But, on the other, it has destroy
ed memorabilia on which his
fame, in part, was built.
For chemical deterioration of
ink on jefferson manuscript has
rendered many of them undeci
pherable, said Prof. Gilbert Chi.
nard, of Johns Hopkins Univer'
sity, in talk yesterday before
the Thomas Jefferson Foundation
in the Lawyers Club, at lis
Broadway.
He gave warning that unless
corrective steps we're taken much
of the valuable Jeffersoniana now
in hand would be lost to pos.
terity. He found the circum-
stance particularly grievous since
many of the endangered docu.
ments never have been published.
These include letters from John
Adams and James Madison.
