Teddy became an underwater explorer, teacher, treasure hunter, and pioneer.  He earned the Order of the British Empire from Queen Elizabeth II.  Other achievements include the discovery of more than 100 ship wrecks off the Bermuda coast, work on the Beebe science project with National Geographic, collaboration with the University of Maryland to study gill sharks.  Following service with the Royal Navy during World War II, Teddy endeavored to make a living as a salvage diver.  He taught himself about ships, nautical history, and underwater archeology. Teddy died June 9, 2014. \nSources consulted for this biographical/ Historical History: The New York Times, Teddy Tucker Obituary, June 27, 2014.","The collection consists of correspondence, day books, blueprints, photographs, genealogical research, maps, DVDs, artwork, textiles, and artifacts, circa 1760-1990, relating to the Tucker family of Bermuda and the Taliaferro-Bolton families of Richmond, Virginia. ","There is also a large amount of material relating to Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker, an underwater explorer and treasure hunter off the coast of Bermuda. The majority of the artwork in this collection is from Catharine and Ethel Tucker of Bermuda who were aunts of Edward \"Teddy\" Tucker.  They created many landscape pieces and maintained a small store on Bermuda wher they sold their works. ","Artifacts include wooden and metal trinkets made by prisoners of war held in Bermuda during the Anglo-Boer war from 1899-1902, textiles, tintype photographs, and family heirloom jewelry. ","This series includes the papers of Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker.  They include his work as a skin diver in and around Bermuda waters.  Teddy devoted a significant amount of his professional life studying marine life and exploring wrecks off coastlines.  He is best known for discovering the Tucker cross, an emerald encrusted 22 karat gold cross, in 1955 from the Spanish galleon shipwreck the \"San Pedro\".  He sold it to the Government of Bermuda in 1959.  Unfortnately, by 1975 it was discovered that it was stolen. Because a replica was used to hide the fact that it was stolen, it is believed that a professional art theif perpetrated the crime. The artifact has never been recovered.  While much of Teddy's underwater findings and work remain in Bermuda, these papers offer insight into his boyhood, correspondence with relatives, and daily life in Bermuda.","This box contains mostly photocopies of documentation and compiled research related to Bermuda and surrounding area shiwrecks.

No access without written permission of the owner.","The Jefferson Papers are listed in this calendar in two broad categories: Series I, Dated Materials (arranged chronologically); and\n            Series II, Miscellaneous Undated Items.","Preface to the Online Edition","From the earliest days of its interest in special\n                     collections, the University of Virginia Library has given much attention to the\n                     writings and letters of Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the University."," The online edition of  A Calendar of The Jefferson Papers of the\n               University of Virginia  combines into one chronological sequence the original\n            1950 calendar compiled by Constance Thurlow and Francis Berkeley and the 1973 supplement\n            compiled by Anne Freudenberg and John Casteen. All Jefferson items in the possession of\n            the University of Virginia Library are now included; new entries are added as additional\n            Jefferson items are acquired by the Library. "," The  Calendar  contains entries for all letters and\n            documents in our collections written by or to Jefferson; letters docketed by Jefferson;\n            19th century copies of Jefferson letters transcribed by family members; photomechanical\n            reproductions of some privately-held Jefferson letters, and of some Jefferson letters in\n            other institutions (most notably the correspondence with Tadeusz Kosciuszko in the\n            National Museum of Krakow, Poland), which are inaccessible to most researchers; and the\n            Peter Jefferson documents held by the Library. "," In updating the  Calendar  we retained the basic format of\n            the earlier printed versions. A typical entry consists of the name of the writer, the\n            place from which he writes, the name of the recipient, and the place to which the letter\n            is directed, followed by the date of manuscript. This is followed by a brief physical\n            description of the manuscript (e.g. ALS; typescript; 19th century copy, number of pages)\n            and, for entries made between 1950 and 1973, information about the location of other\n            copies and citations to printed versions. We have made no attempt to supplement entries\n            for materials acquired since 1970 with notes on the location of other copies or\n            additional citations of printed versions. The name of the University of Virginia Library\n            collection of which the manuscript is a part and the collection's accession number are\n            also included. The entry concludes with a summary of the text of the manuscript. Entries\n            from the 1950 and 1973 editions are followed by a bracketed number that was assigned for\n            purposes of indexing. "," We have made several significant changes to the entries. The word \"slave\" replaces the\n            word \"servant\" in all cases where the editors were sure the individual indicated was a\n            slave. All photomechanical reproductions are given the generic label \"photostat.\"\n            Changes in ownership are noted when known. Each of Jefferson's architectural drawings is\n            listed individually with the corresponding \"Nichols number\" taken from  Thomas Jefferson's architectural drawings  / compiled and with\n            commentary and a check list by Frederick Doveton Nichols. -- 4th ed. - (Charlottesville\n            : Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, 1988, c1995.) "," For more details about the original compilation of the  Calendar , please see the  Introduction to the\n               1950 Edition,  below. "," Edward Gaynor  Ann L. S. Southwell  March 2004 ","Introduction to the 1950 Edition","In preparing this calendar of the University's Jefferson manuscripts, Mrs. Thurlow and I\n            have freely made use of many people's work. Daily reference has been made to our\n            Jefferson Checklist, a chronological card-file of some sixty thousand of Jefferson's\n            manuscripts, and letters to and from him, now known to be extant in public and private\n            libraries, in manuscript and in print. This Checklist was begun by John Cook Wyllie more\n            than fifteen years ago, and has been expanded by many hands, particularly by a former\n            staff member, Mrs. Helen D. Bullock. The Checklist is now being duplicated, expanded,\n            and improved by Julian P. Boyd and the editors associated with him in the Princeton\n            University publication project. Copies of the Checklist in its final form may later be\n            made available at the Library of Congress as well as at the University of Virginia, and\n            I venture to express here the hope that it may be printed for the use of students\n            elsewhere. For it will contain much of value which must doubtless be omitted from\n            publication in the Papers.","The typescript calendar of our Jefferson Papers, prepared by Mrs. Bullock in 1941, has\n            been very useful here and at the Library of Congress, and particularly helpful in\n            preparing the present calendar for publication. Printing costs and other factors have\n            made necessary a more condensed form of entry in the present calendar. Since the\n            preparation of Mrs. Bullock's calendar, which included photostats in our collections,\n            our holdings of original manuscripts have nearly doubled. Photographic copies (more than\n            10,000 now being available in our reading room) have here been excluded except in a few\n            instances of manuscripts in private hands and county court houses, which in a number of\n            cases are the only known texts.","Researchers are warned that the length of an entry does not necessarily indicate our\n            judgment of the importance of the item. We have attempted to include all names of\n            persons and places. As a result, entries for certain legal documents are\n            disproportionately long. We have tried to mention all major subjects discussed in each\n            letter, but the reader who wants full details will be obliged to consult the original\n            manuscript or order a photographic copy.","Each entry contains two paragraphs, the second of which is a condensed summary of the\n            text of the manuscript, followed by a bracketed number for purposes of indexing. The\n            first paragraph contains all \"bibliographical data\" about the manuscript and all other\n            texts of it which are known to us from the data recorded and filed in our Jefferson\n            Checklist. Following the date in a typical entry is the name of the writer, the place\n            from which he writes, the name of the recipient, and the place to which the letter is\n            directed. Then follows a symbol (see list below) which tells whether the manuscript is\n            signed and whether or not it is written in the hand of the signer, with a statement of\n            the number of pages in the manuscript. If another text of the manuscript is known to us,\n            this information is then given as explicitly as possible. In some cases we can only say\n            \"another manuscript in DLC\" (Library of Congress; see list of abbreviations below);\n            often, however, we are able to state that the other manuscript is the recipient's copy,\n            a polygraph copy, a letterpress copy, a file draft, or an extract or copy by another\n            hand, either contemporary or later.","The final statement in each heading concerns known printed versions of the manuscript as\n            recorded in our Jefferson Checklist. Many of the published texts are inaccurate or\n            incomplete, as we indicate when known. All frequently cited publications are referred to\n            by symbols (as listed in the table below) and punctuation is simplified for convenience\n            in printing.","Special attention is invited to the case of \"printing\" which we indicate by the\n            following oft-recurring expression: \"Printed: B of R VI 372 (MS. in DLC)\". This means\n            that an abstract of another text of our manuscript (the other text usually being\n            Jefferson's file copy) is to be found in the  Calendar of\n               Letters from Jefferson, in the  Bulletin of the Bureau\n               of Rolls and Library of the Department of State, No. 6, Washington, 1894-1896\n            page 372, and that the manuscript so calendared is now in the Library of Congress.\n            Virtually none of the Jefferson manuscripts in the Bureau of Rolls (all of which are now\n            in the Library of Congress) were printed in full in the  Calendar which appeared in volumes 6 (letters from Jefferson) and 8 (letters\n            to Jefferson) of the Bulletin. It is hoped that no student will be misled by this\n            type-saving method of entry. All other printings indicated are assumed to be complete\n            unless otherwise stated.","Docketing, and other brief endorsements on letters are indicated simply by the word\n            \"endorsed\" unless they appear to require special comment. \"Endorsed by T. J.\" indicates\n            that such an endorsement is in Jefferson's autograph. Spelling has normally been\n            corrected outside of direct quotations, and we have never hesitated to expand \"Mr.\n            Randolph\" to \"Thomas Mann Randolph\" when the identity is certain. Square brackets have,\n            therefore, been rather sparingly used to supply missing names, facts, and dates in the\n            headings which could be supplied with reasonable certainty. In summarizing the texts of\n            letters and other items, the main object has been brevity rather than any attempt to\n            reproduce the original language. Parentheses have been freely used in the summaries for\n            the provision of explanatory comment.","All manuscripts not otherwise designated are in our general collection of Jefferson\n            Papers. Others are listed in the heading of the entry as being in the McGregor Library\n            (which is the most important of the special libraries constituting the Division of Rare\n            Books and Manuscripts) or in any of our various collections of manuscripts which happen\n            to contain papers of Jefferson, such as the following: the Berkeley Manuscripts, the\n            Cabell Papers, the Carr-Cary Papers, the Cocke Papers, the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and\n            the Page-Walker Papers. Some of these special collections are not owned by the\n            University, but are on deposit for safekeeping and historical reference. Other privately\n            owned individual manuscripts on deposit are listed with the owner's name. Photographic\n            copies can be provided in most cases, but a few are subject to restrictions stipulated\n            by the owner.","It will be noted that we have included certain manuscripts of Jefferson's father which\n            have some relevancy to the career of the son. In addition to a few special photostats\n            already mentioned, a number of older transcripts of Jefferson's papers have also been\n            included. The most important of these are the copies and extracts made by Martha\n            Jefferson Randolph and her daughters and by Nicholas P. Trist during the decade\n            following Jefferson's death. These and other copies have been identified in the\n            headings. In a considerable number of cases, however, chiefly of copies which appear to\n            have been made by or for members of the family, we have had to fall back on the\n            expression, \"19th century copy\".","Omitted from this calendar are a number of papers in this library which were once in\n            Jefferson's possession, or closely associated with him, but which were not composed,\n            drafted, or endorsed by him. Such, for example, are the groups of legal papers,\n            1740-1759, which Robert Carter Nicholas turned over to him as attorney in 1771; a\n            correspondence of the Associates of the late Doctor Bray, 1757-1773, concerning the\n            Negro school at Williamsburg, sponsored by the Society for the Propagation of the\n            Gospel; correspondence of Robley Dunglison with Jefferson's biographer, Henry S.\n            Randall; and great numbers of letters by Jefferson's executor and by members of his\n            immediate family which are to be found in the University archives and such of our\n            collections as the Carr-Cary Papers, the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and the Francis\n            Walker Gilmer Manuscripts. Typical of other materials omitted are an eighteen-page\n            manuscript pedigree of the Jefferson family, compiled by Paul Berghaus, and kept with\n            our Jefferson Papers for the convenience of researchers; memorial addresses following\n            Jefferson's death in 1826; and letters of condolence to his family. A revealing item of\n            Jeffersoniana, omitted here, but shortly-to be published by the library as a separate\n            volume, is the manuscript of the recollections of Isaac Jefferson, a household slave at\n            Monticello, as dictated in old age to the historian, Charles Campbell.","One conspicuous omission which we hope will not be attributed to ingratitude has been\n            that of the names of donors. From 1825 to 1949 we have received from Jefferson himself,\n            from every generation of his descendants, and from a host of admirers of Jefferson and\n            friends of the University, gifts of Jeffersoniana or funds for their acquisition. The\n            addition of donors' names to already elaborate calendar headings, particularly in the\n            group entries covering numerous separate gifts, might, we feel, confuse the student. In\n            our published annual reports we attempt at least to record from year to year the names\n            of the benefactors on whom we rely so heavily for the growth of the collections.","To the Research Council of the Richmond Area University Center we are indebted for the\n            grant-in-aid which has made possible this publication. The courtesy and patience of the\n            Administrator and of the members of the Council in connection with our unavoidable\n            delays in printing are particularly appreciated.","If this work had a dedication, it would be to Harry Clemons, who brought the Manuscript\n            Division into being, whose faith has a way of moving mountains, and to whom all of the\n            daily tasks of our staff are truly dedicated by our admiration and affection.","University of Virginia  1 October 1949 Francis L.

Daily reference has been made to our\n            Jefferson Checklist, a chronological card-file of some sixty thousand of Jefferson's\n            manuscripts, and letters to and from him, now known to be extant in public and private\n            libraries, in manuscript and in print. This Checklist was begun by John Cook Wyllie more\n            than fifteen years ago, and has been expanded by many hands, particularly by a former\n            staff member, Mrs. Helen D. Bullock. The Checklist is now being duplicated, expanded,\n            and improved by Julian P. Boyd and the editors associated with him in the Princeton\n            University publication project. Copies of the Checklist in its final form may later be\n            made available at the Library of Congress as well as at the University of Virginia, and\n            I venture to express here the hope that it may be printed for the use of students\n            elsewhere. For it will contain much of value which must doubtless be omitted from\n            publication in the Papers.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe typescript calendar of our Jefferson Papers, prepared by Mrs. Bullock in 1941, has\n            been very useful here and at the Library of Congress, and particularly helpful in\n            preparing the present calendar for publication. Printing costs and other factors have\n            made necessary a more condensed form of entry in the present calendar. Since the\n            preparation of Mrs. Bullock's calendar, which included photostats in our collections,\n            our holdings of original manuscripts have nearly doubled. Photographic copies (more than\n            10,000 now being available in our reading room) have here been excluded except in a few\n            instances of manuscripts in private hands and county court houses, which in a number of\n            cases are the only known texts.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eResearchers are warned that the length of an entry does not necessarily indicate our\n            judgment of the importance of the item. We have attempted to include all names of\n            persons and places. As a result, entries for certain legal documents are\n            disproportionately long. We have tried to mention all major subjects discussed in each\n            letter, but the reader who wants full details will be obliged to consult the original\n            manuscript or order a photographic copy.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eEach entry contains two paragraphs, the second of which is a condensed summary of the\n            text of the manuscript, followed by a bracketed number for purposes of indexing. The\n            first paragraph contains all \"bibliographical data\" about the manuscript and all other\n            texts of it which are known to us from the data recorded and filed in our Jefferson\n            Checklist. Following the date in a typical entry is the name of the writer, the place\n            from which he writes, the name of the recipient, and the place to which the letter is\n            directed. Then follows a symbol (see list below) which tells whether the manuscript is\n            signed and whether or not it is written in the hand of the signer, with a statement of\n            the number of pages in the manuscript. If another text of the manuscript is known to us,\n            this information is then given as explicitly as possible. In some cases we can only say\n            \"another manuscript in DLC\" (Library of Congress; see list of abbreviations below);\n            often, however, we are able to state that the other manuscript is the recipient's copy,\n            a polygraph copy, a letterpress copy, a file draft, or an extract or copy by another\n            hand, either contemporary or later.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe final statement in each heading concerns known printed versions of the manuscript as\n            recorded in our Jefferson Checklist. Many of the published texts are inaccurate or\n            incomplete, as we indicate when known. All frequently cited publications are referred to\n            by symbols (as listed in the table below) and punctuation is simplified for convenience\n            in printing.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eSpecial attention is invited to the case of \"printing\" which we indicate by the\n            following oft-recurring expression: \"Printed: B of R VI 372 (MS. in DLC)\". This means\n            that an abstract of another text of our manuscript (the other text usually being\n            Jefferson's file copy) is to be found in the \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"doublequote\" href=\"\"\u003eCalendar of\n               Letters from Jefferson,\u003c/title\u003ein the \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"italic\" href=\"\"\u003eBulletin of the Bureau\n               of Rolls and Library of the Department of State,\u003c/title\u003eNo. 6, Washington, 1894-1896\n            page 372, and that the manuscript so calendared is now in the Library of Congress.\n            Virtually none of the Jefferson manuscripts in the Bureau of Rolls (all of which are now\n            in the Library of Congress) were printed in full in the \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"doublequote\" href=\"\"\u003eCalendar\u003c/title\u003ewhich appeared in volumes 6 (letters from Jefferson) and 8 (letters\n            to Jefferson) of the Bulletin. It is hoped that no student will be misled by this\n            type-saving method of entry. All other printings indicated are assumed to be complete\n            unless otherwise stated.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eDocketing, and other brief endorsements on letters are indicated simply by the word\n            \"endorsed\" unless they appear to require special comment. \"Endorsed by T. J.\" indicates\n            that such an endorsement is in Jefferson's autograph. Spelling has normally been\n            corrected outside of direct quotations, and we have never hesitated to expand \"Mr.\n            Randolph\" to \"Thomas Mann Randolph\" when the identity is certain. Square brackets have,\n            therefore, been rather sparingly used to supply missing names, facts, and dates in the\n            headings which could be supplied with reasonable certainty. In summarizing the texts of\n            letters and other items, the main object has been brevity rather than any attempt to\n            reproduce the original language. Parentheses have been freely used in the summaries for\n            the provision of explanatory comment.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAll manuscripts not otherwise designated are in our general collection of Jefferson\n            Papers. Others are listed in the heading of the entry as being in the McGregor Library\n            (which is the most important of the special libraries constituting the Division of Rare\n            Books and Manuscripts) or in any of our various collections of manuscripts which happen\n            to contain papers of Jefferson, such as the following: the Berkeley Manuscripts, the\n            Cabell Papers, the Carr-Cary Papers, the Cocke Papers, the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and\n            the Page-Walker Papers. Some of these special collections are not owned by the\n            University, but are on deposit for safekeeping and historical reference. Other privately\n            owned individual manuscripts on deposit are listed with the owner's name. Photographic\n            copies can be provided in most cases, but a few are subject to restrictions stipulated\n            by the owner.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIt will be noted that we have included certain manuscripts of Jefferson's father which\n            have some relevancy to the career of the son. In addition to a few special photostats\n            already mentioned, a number of older transcripts of Jefferson's papers have also been\n            included. The most important of these are the copies and extracts made by Martha\n            Jefferson Randolph and her daughters and by Nicholas P. Trist during the decade\n            following Jefferson's death. These and other copies have been identified in the\n            headings. In a considerable number of cases, however, chiefly of copies which appear to\n            have been made by or for members of the family, we have had to fall back on the\n            expression, \"19th century copy\".\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eOmitted from this calendar are a number of papers in this library which were once in\n            Jefferson's possession, or closely associated with him, but which were not composed,\n            drafted, or endorsed by him. Such, for example, are the groups of legal papers,\n            1740-1759, which Robert Carter Nicholas turned over to him as attorney in 1771; a\n            correspondence of the Associates of the late Doctor Bray, 1757-1773, concerning the\n            Negro school at Williamsburg, sponsored by the Society for the Propagation of the\n            Gospel; correspondence of Robley Dunglison with Jefferson's biographer, Henry S.\n            Randall; and great numbers of letters by Jefferson's executor and by members of his\n            immediate family which are to be found in the University archives and such of our\n            collections as the Carr-Cary Papers, the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and the Francis\n            Walker Gilmer Manuscripts. Typical of other materials omitted are an eighteen-page\n            manuscript pedigree of the Jefferson family, compiled by Paul Berghaus, and kept with\n            our Jefferson Papers for the convenience of researchers; memorial addresses following\n            Jefferson's death in 1826; and letters of condolence to his family. A revealing item of\n            Jeffersoniana, omitted here, but shortly-to be published by the library as a separate\n            volume, is the manuscript of the recollections of Isaac Jefferson, a household slave at\n            Monticello, as dictated in old age to the historian, Charles Campbell.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eOne conspicuous omission which we hope will not be attributed to ingratitude has been\n            that of the names of donors. From 1825 to 1949 we have received from Jefferson himself,\n            from every generation of his descendants, and from a host of admirers of Jefferson and\n            friends of the University, gifts of Jeffersoniana or funds for their acquisition. The\n            addition of donors' names to already elaborate calendar headings, particularly in the\n            group entries covering numerous separate gifts, might, we feel, confuse the student. In\n            our published annual reports we attempt at least to record from year to year the names\n            of the benefactors on whom we rely so heavily for the growth of the collections.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eTo the Research Council of the Richmond Area University Center we are indebted for the\n            grant-in-aid which has made possible this publication.

This is followed by a brief physical\n            description of the manuscript (e.g. ALS; typescript; 19th century copy, number of pages)\n            and, for entries made between 1950 and 1973, information about the location of other\n            copies and citations to printed versions. We have made no attempt to supplement entries\n            for materials acquired since 1970 with notes on the location of other copies or\n            additional citations of printed versions. The name of the University of Virginia Library\n            collection of which the manuscript is a part and the collection's accession number are\n            also included. The entry concludes with a summary of the text of the manuscript. Entries\n            from the 1950 and 1973 editions are followed by a bracketed number that was assigned for\n            purposes of indexing. "," We have made several significant changes to the entries. The word \"slave\" replaces the\n            word \"servant\" in all cases where the editors were sure the individual indicated was a\n            slave. All photomechanical reproductions are given the generic label \"photostat.\"\n            Changes in ownership are noted when known. Each of Jefferson's architectural drawings is\n            listed individually with the corresponding \"Nichols number\" taken from  Thomas Jefferson's architectural drawings  / compiled and with\n            commentary and a check list by Frederick Doveton Nichols. -- 4th ed. - (Charlottesville\n            : Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, 1988, c1995.) "," For more details about the original compilation of the  Calendar , please see the  Introduction to the\n               1950 Edition,  below. "," Edward Gaynor  Ann L. S. Southwell  March 2004 ","Introduction to the 1950 Edition","In preparing this calendar of the University's Jefferson manuscripts, Mrs. Thurlow and I\n            have freely made use of many people's work. Daily reference has been made to our\n            Jefferson Checklist, a chronological card-file of some sixty thousand of Jefferson's\n            manuscripts, and letters to and from him, now known to be extant in public and private\n            libraries, in manuscript and in print. This Checklist was begun by John Cook Wyllie more\n            than fifteen years ago, and has been expanded by many hands, particularly by a former\n            staff member, Mrs. Helen D. Bullock. The Checklist is now being duplicated, expanded,\n            and improved by Julian P. Boyd and the editors associated with him in the Princeton\n            University publication project. Copies of the Checklist in its final form may later be\n            made available at the Library of Congress as well as at the University of Virginia, and\n            I venture to express here the hope that it may be printed for the use of students\n            elsewhere. For it will contain much of value which must doubtless be omitted from\n            publication in the Papers.","The typescript calendar of our Jefferson Papers, prepared by Mrs. Bullock in 1941, has\n            been very useful here and at the Library of Congress, and particularly helpful in\n            preparing the present calendar for publication. Printing costs and other factors have\n            made necessary a more condensed form of entry in the present calendar. Since the\n            preparation of Mrs. Bullock's calendar, which included photostats in our collections,\n            our holdings of original manuscripts have nearly doubled. Photographic copies (more than\n            10,000 now being available in our reading room) have here been excluded except in a few\n            instances of manuscripts in private hands and county court houses, which in a number of\n            cases are the only known texts.","Researchers are warned that the length of an entry does not necessarily indicate our\n            judgment of the importance of the item. We have attempted to include all names of\n            persons and places. As a result, entries for certain legal documents are\n            disproportionately long. We have tried to mention all major subjects discussed in each\n            letter, but the reader who wants full details will be obliged to consult the original\n            manuscript or order a photographic copy.","Each entry contains two paragraphs, the second of which is a condensed summary of the\n            text of the manuscript, followed by a bracketed number for purposes of indexing. The\n            first paragraph contains all \"bibliographical data\" about the manuscript and all other\n            texts of it which are known to us from the data recorded and filed in our Jefferson\n            Checklist. Following the date in a typical entry is the name of the writer, the place\n            from which he writes, the name of the recipient, and the place to which the letter is\n            directed. Then follows a symbol (see list below) which tells whether the manuscript is\n            signed and whether or not it is written in the hand of the signer, with a statement of\n            the number of pages in the manuscript. If another text of the manuscript is known to us,\n            this information is then given as explicitly as possible. In some cases we can only say\n            \"another manuscript in DLC\" (Library of Congress; see list of abbreviations below);\n            often, however, we are able to state that the other manuscript is the recipient's copy,\n            a polygraph copy, a letterpress copy, a file draft, or an extract or copy by another\n            hand, either contemporary or later.","The final statement in each heading concerns known printed versions of the manuscript as\n            recorded in our Jefferson Checklist. Many of the published texts are inaccurate or\n            incomplete, as we indicate when known. All frequently cited publications are referred to\n            by symbols (as listed in the table below) and punctuation is simplified for convenience\n            in printing.","Special attention is invited to the case of \"printing\" which we indicate by the\n            following oft-recurring expression: \"Printed: B of R VI 372 (MS. in DLC)\". This means\n            that an abstract of another text of our manuscript (the other text usually being\n            Jefferson's file copy) is to be found in the  Calendar of\n               Letters from Jefferson, in the  Bulletin of the Bureau\n               of Rolls and Library of the Department of State, No. 6, Washington, 1894-1896\n            page 372, and that the manuscript so calendared is now in the Library of Congress.\n            Virtually none of the Jefferson manuscripts in the Bureau of Rolls (all of which are now\n            in the Library of Congress) were printed in full in the  Calendar which appeared in volumes 6 (letters from Jefferson) and 8 (letters\n            to Jefferson) of the Bulletin. It is hoped that no student will be misled by this\n            type-saving method of entry. All other printings indicated are assumed to be complete\n            unless otherwise stated.","Docketing, and other brief endorsements on letters are indicated simply by the word\n            \"endorsed\" unless they appear to require special comment. \"Endorsed by T. J.\" indicates\n            that such an endorsement is in Jefferson's autograph. Spelling has normally been\n            corrected outside of direct quotations, and we have never hesitated to expand \"Mr.\n            Randolph\" to \"Thomas Mann Randolph\" when the identity is certain. Square brackets have,\n            therefore, been rather sparingly used to supply missing names, facts, and dates in the\n            headings which could be supplied with reasonable certainty. In summarizing the texts of\n            letters and other items, the main object has been brevity rather than any attempt to\n            reproduce the original language. Parentheses have been freely used in the summaries for\n            the provision of explanatory comment.","All manuscripts not otherwise designated are in our general collection of Jefferson\n            Papers. Others are listed in the heading of the entry as being in the McGregor Library\n            (which is the most important of the special libraries constituting the Division of Rare\n            Books and Manuscripts) or in any of our various collections of manuscripts which happen\n            to contain papers of Jefferson, such as the following: the Berkeley Manuscripts, the\n            Cabell Papers, the Carr-Cary Papers, the Cocke Papers, the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and\n            the Page-Walker Papers. Some of these special collections are not owned by the\n            University, but are on deposit for safekeeping and historical reference. Other privately\n            owned individual manuscripts on deposit are listed with the owner's name. Photographic\n            copies can be provided in most cases, but a few are subject to restrictions stipulated\n            by the owner.","It will be noted that we have included certain manuscripts of Jefferson's father which\n            have some relevancy to the career of the son. In addition to a few special photostats\n            already mentioned, a number of older transcripts of Jefferson's papers have also been\n            included. The most important of these are the copies and extracts made by Martha\n            Jefferson Randolph and her daughters and by Nicholas P. Trist during the decade\n            following Jefferson's death. These and other copies have been identified in the\n            headings. In a considerable number of cases, however, chiefly of copies which appear to\n            have been made by or for members of the family, we have had to fall back on the\n            expression, \"19th century copy\".","Omitted from this calendar are a number of papers in this library which were once in\n            Jefferson's possession, or closely associated with him, but which were not composed,\n            drafted, or endorsed by him. Such, for example, are the groups of legal papers,\n            1740-1759, which Robert Carter Nicholas turned over to him as attorney in 1771; a\n            correspondence of the Associates of the late Doctor Bray, 1757-1773, concerning the\n            Negro school at Williamsburg, sponsored by the Society for the Propagation of the\n            Gospel; correspondence of Robley Dunglison with Jefferson's biographer, Henry S.\n            Randall; and great numbers of letters by Jefferson's executor and by members of his\n            immediate family which are to be found in the University archives and such of our\n            collections as the Carr-Cary Papers, the Edgehill-Randolph Papers, and the Francis\n            Walker Gilmer Manuscripts. Typical of other materials omitted are an eighteen-page\n            manuscript pedigree of the Jefferson family, compiled by Paul Berghaus, and kept with\n            our Jefferson Papers for the convenience of researchers; memorial addresses following\n            Jefferson's death in 1826; and letters of condolence to his family. A revealing item of\n            Jeffersoniana, omitted here, but shortly-to be published by the library as a separate\n            volume, is the manuscript of the recollections of Isaac Jefferson, a household slave at\n            Monticello, as dictated in old age to the historian, Charles Campbell.","One conspicuous omission which we hope will not be attributed to ingratitude has been\n            that of the names of donors. From 1825 to 1949 we have received from Jefferson himself,\n            from every generation of his descendants, and from a host of admirers of Jefferson and\n            friends of the University, gifts of Jeffersoniana or funds for their acquisition. The\n            addition of donors' names to already elaborate calendar headings, particularly in the\n            group entries covering numerous separate gifts, might, we feel, confuse the student. In\n            our published annual reports we attempt at least to record from year to year the names\n            of the benefactors on whom we rely so heavily for the growth of the collections.","To the Research Council of the Richmond Area University Center we are indebted for the\n            grant-in-aid which has made possible this publication. The courtesy and patience of the\n            Administrator and of the members of the Council in connection with our unavoidable\n            delays in printing are particularly appreciated.","If this work had a dedication, it would be to Harry Clemons, who brought the Manuscript\n            Division into being, whose faith has a way of moving mountains, and to whom all of the\n            daily tasks of our staff are truly dedicated by our admiration and affection.","University of Virginia  1 October 1949 Francis L.

Mary was never very happy in Kentucky and her constant theme in letters to Williamsburg over many years was to return to her old home. Seemingly she never even visited Virginia again after moving in the summer of 1832. She never married, and seems to have sent much time raising her sisters, and then her nieces and nephews].","Scope and Contents Finally got him a treatise on \"the Prevailing Epidemic\" and is sending Dr. Chapman's work on cholera. After Galt has finished, he would like him to send it on to Dr. Garret and then to Henry Sheilds in York.

Appended to letter is note from Pel Bassett to Barbara and Elizabeth apologizing for not writing and mentioning that Mary Chapman is here from Philadelphia cutting many capers. Recounts tales of some of the belles and their flirtations.","Scope and Contents She is worried that they have not heard from them as this is their sickly season. Her father has had trouble finding a house and the ones he has seen have not had separate quarters for the servants. The servants would have to stay in the basement or in the garret rooms. \"This you know cannot be very agreeable to Virginians.\" Rent is high with houses with six rooms being leased from $350 to $500.","Scope and Contents They are busy fixing the house. \"We went to church last Sunday- our minister is a Mr. Page- I hope we shall like him but he has not that calmness and solemnity which I think every minister should possess- he appears to hurry over the service. I like the church very well the pews are large enough to kneel in this is something unusual for a modern church. The congregation in the afternoon reminded me of our poor old church. They were \"few and far between- the music is indifferent but more general as is the responding than in the churches in Richmond.\" Begs her to keep a little journal of events and then send it to her at her leisure. [Note: These two letters are on one sheet].","Scope and Contents He is distressed to hear of the trouble in Williamsburg. J. Temple, Junior, passed through yesterday and told them of the cholera at Coleman's Mill and of her mother's fever. Barbara Page is with them, but will not take her medicine. More deaths have occurred in these watering places than usual. Their return will depend on the cholera conditions.","Scope and Contents Her father has still not found a house yet and talks of moving to Nashvillle or building in the country; neither prospect pleases her. Their church attendance has been irregular due to her mother's sickness. She does not like the idea of contribution boxes being carried through the congregation and prefers the boxes being left at the door. Judge Semple was elected to fill her father's place. She encloses letter from Cousin Judy Browne to Sally M. Galt. Cousin Norborne's house is lovely and it will look better when they finish planting around it. They have althea bushes down the drive-way. [Note: Mary Browne was apparently accustomed to the method of collecting used by Bruton Parish Church when she was in Williamsburg. Although the church had used alms basins since the eighteenth century, the vestry decided April 1, 1828 \"that the peculiar Circumstances of this Congregation render it inexpedient at the Time to make any Collections at the Church, or during public Worship...\" By 1873 the Vestry was talking of \"the Sunday Collections\" so the traditional method must have been resumed.]","Scope and Contents He encloses a copy of a letter to Robert Saunders, Jr., in which he gives his plans to reduce the cost of teaching French if he should be appointed professor of French. He would like Galt to recommend his propos to the members of the Board in his area.","He thinks it will be of service to the students at William and Mary to revive the professorship of Modern Languages and to make French particularly available for the grammar boys. He hopes Galt will present his viewpoint in a favourable light to those with whom he may come in contact.","Enjoyed seeing their friends Rev. Cole, Mr. Vest, Mr. Sheldon and Mr. William Barton Rogers who is bringing this letter. Her mother is happy living here now. She does not like the idea of only seeing those people of whom her parents approve and she and Mary will not go out to the places they are invited by their mother's friends.","Scope and Contents She wonders why she has not heard from her sooner. Pattrick (\"Goody Gracious\") Galt is visiting them and is in good spirits considering that he almost died of cholera. Cholera is rapidly increasing. Mr. Beale's family has left town because of it. She paid her first visit to their new house. It is convenient as far as her mother being able to manage it in her present poor health, but does not like the empty, cold, ceremonious rooms of Louisville houses. Someone has told them that \"Black Hawk\" is a little dried up old man and not the Indians' greatest warrior, but merely a chief.","Scope and Contents Judy writes Alexander that they live in a part of Louisville called Germany because so many of the Dutch live there. The rest of the letter has general bits of news and urges them to write.","Scope and Contents She and her mother have paid morning visits, some of the ladies sent word that they were too busy to be seen instead of the customary \"not at home.\" She was invited to a party with her sisters but refused to go. There have been some steam boat accidents and last week four or five people were scalded to death when a boiler broke. Envies Elizabeth's situation at Mr. Anderson's school. Hopes her father will send Sally and Judy to a good teacher.","Scope and Contents His plans for visiting them have been frustrated. He was ordered to New York and was there two days when he was ordered to Charleston, South Carolina, in the midst of the difficulties of that state with the \"general government.\" He hopes \"that the horrid realities of civil war will be spared us, but considering the phrenzied haste with which the popular leaders of So. Carolina seem determined to push matters, much is to be feared.\" [Note: Mary D. Galt is Mrs. A.D. Galt.]","Scope and Contents He regrets that is unable to pay the money requested of him.","Scope and Contents Receipt for fifteen dollars paid by Dr. A.D.

Her time is much taken up with receiving and returning morning calls. Judge Crittenden has died here. [Note: Mary D. Galt is Mrs. A.D. Galt.]","She is planning to sing with the choir, but worries whether she can find a beau to walk her home afterwards. She enjoys playing the piano, but is upset that hers was filled with water when it arrived. The town has had a Methodist minister, an Irishman by the name of Maffet, who has been most theatrical and has induced many of the girls to lay aside their feathers. Still his preaching did not stop a large party last night whereby a twice-married lady entertained. She mentions the marriage of John Minson Galt to Miss Land. [Note: While the year 1832 is plainly written on the envelope side of this letter, comparison of its contents with letters from from Louisville in September 1832 clearly shows that it should be dated 1833. John Minson Galt (1808-1868), son of John Minson (1785-1814) and Nancy Herbert Galt, marrried Anne W. Land (1814-1884) in March 1833. See Galt Genealogy, I.E.7.a., p.7.].","Scope and Contents She could be happy there if she was not full of thoughts of Williamsburg. She fears she will not see him again but hopes to see him in the life to come. She misses them all. She has seen various relatives. The fashion in Louisville is to keep the rooms so dark that you cannot see anyone in mid-day.","Scope and Contents He has given up his shop in Great Bridge and come to Portsmouth, but plans to settle permanently in Norfolk. He will marry Anne W. Land on March 19th. He hopes Elizabeth can come to the wedding.

Rosina Tucker is supposed to marry Mr. Dyer from Albemarle but her father stongly objects so the marriage might fall through. [Note: Mary D. Galt is Mrs. A.D. Galt.]","Scope and Contents She has just recovered from a serious illness, similar to measles. The Unitarians are having a fair to raise money to buy an organ. They [the Episcopalians?] are having a fair next week. Her uncle has been bringing her plenty of flowers. [Note: Mary D. Galt is Mrs. A.D. Galt.]","Scope and Contents Ann has taken up astronomy. She makes various joking remarks and innuendoes about various friends and relatives.

Makes further references to the land claims resulting from father's Revolutionary War services.

Mary was never very happy in Kentucky and her constant theme in letters to Williamsburg over many years was to return to her old home. Seemingly she never even visited Virginia again after moving in the summer of 1832. She never married, and seems to have sent much time raising her sisters, and then her nieces and nephews].","Scope and Contents Finally got him a treatise on \"the Prevailing Epidemic\" and is sending Dr. Chapman's work on cholera. After Galt has finished, he would like him to send it on to Dr. Garret and then to Henry Sheilds in York.

Appended to letter is note from Pel Bassett to Barbara and Elizabeth apologizing for not writing and mentioning that Mary Chapman is here from Philadelphia cutting many capers. Recounts tales of some of the belles and their flirtations.","Scope and Contents She is worried that they have not heard from them as this is their sickly season. Her father has had trouble finding a house and the ones he has seen have not had separate quarters for the servants. The servants would have to stay in the basement or in the garret rooms. \"This you know cannot be very agreeable to Virginians.\" Rent is high with houses with six rooms being leased from $350 to $500.","Scope and Contents They are busy fixing the house. \"We went to church last Sunday- our minister is a Mr. Page- I hope we shall like him but he has not that calmness and solemnity which I think every minister should possess- he appears to hurry over the service. I like the church very well the pews are large enough to kneel in this is something unusual for a modern church. The congregation in the afternoon reminded me of our poor old church. They were \"few and far between- the music is indifferent but more general as is the responding than in the churches in Richmond.\" Begs her to keep a little journal of events and then send it to her at her leisure. [Note: These two letters are on one sheet].","Scope and Contents He is distressed to hear of the trouble in Williamsburg. J. Temple, Junior, passed through yesterday and told them of the cholera at Coleman's Mill and of her mother's fever. Barbara Page is with them, but will not take her medicine. More deaths have occurred in these watering places than usual. Their return will depend on the cholera conditions.","Scope and Contents Her father has still not found a house yet and talks of moving to Nashvillle or building in the country; neither prospect pleases her. Their church attendance has been irregular due to her mother's sickness. She does not like the idea of contribution boxes being carried through the congregation and prefers the boxes being left at the door. Judge Semple was elected to fill her father's place. She encloses letter from Cousin Judy Browne to Sally M. Galt. Cousin Norborne's house is lovely and it will look better when they finish planting around it. They have althea bushes down the drive-way. [Note: Mary Browne was apparently accustomed to the method of collecting used by Bruton Parish Church when she was in Williamsburg. Although the church had used alms basins since the eighteenth century, the vestry decided April 1, 1828 \"that the peculiar Circumstances of this Congregation render it inexpedient at the Time to make any Collections at the Church, or during public Worship...\" By 1873 the Vestry was talking of \"the Sunday Collections\" so the traditional method must have been resumed.]","Scope and Contents He encloses a copy of a letter to Robert Saunders, Jr., in which he gives his plans to reduce the cost of teaching French if he should be appointed professor of French. He would like Galt to recommend his propos to the members of the Board in his area.","He thinks it will be of service to the students at William and Mary to revive the professorship of Modern Languages and to make French particularly available for the grammar boys. He hopes Galt will present his viewpoint in a favourable light to those with whom he may come in contact.","Enjoyed seeing their friends Rev. Cole, Mr. Vest, Mr. Sheldon and Mr. William Barton Rogers who is bringing this letter. Her mother is happy living here now. She does not like the idea of only seeing those people of whom her parents approve and she and Mary will not go out to the places they are invited by their mother's friends.","Scope and Contents She wonders why she has not heard from her sooner. Pattrick (\"Goody Gracious\") Galt is visiting them and is in good spirits considering that he almost died of cholera. Cholera is rapidly increasing. Mr. Beale's family has left town because of it. She paid her first visit to their new house. It is convenient as far as her mother being able to manage it in her present poor health, but does not like the empty, cold, ceremonious rooms of Louisville houses. Someone has told them that \"Black Hawk\" is a little dried up old man and not the Indians' greatest warrior, but merely a chief.","Scope and Contents Judy writes Alexander that they live in a part of Louisville called Germany because so many of the Dutch live there. The rest of the letter has general bits of news and urges them to write.","Scope and Contents She and her mother have paid morning visits, some of the ladies sent word that they were too busy to be seen instead of the customary \"not at home.\" She was invited to a party with her sisters but refused to go. There have been some steam boat accidents and last week four or five people were scalded to death when a boiler broke. Envies Elizabeth's situation at Mr. Anderson's school. Hopes her father will send Sally and Judy to a good teacher.","Scope and Contents His plans for visiting them have been frustrated. He was ordered to New York and was there two days when he was ordered to Charleston, South Carolina, in the midst of the difficulties of that state with the \"general government.\" He hopes \"that the horrid realities of civil war will be spared us, but considering the phrenzied haste with which the popular leaders of So. Carolina seem determined to push matters, much is to be feared.\" [Note: Mary D. Galt is Mrs. A.D. Galt.]","Scope and Contents He regrets that is unable to pay the money requested of him.","Scope and Contents Receipt for fifteen dollars paid by Dr. A.D. Galt, Williamsburg, to Leroy Anderson for the tuition of Elizabeth J. Galt.","Scope and Contents She mentions their gloomy Christmas with the church not decorated because of the scarcity of evergreens. The Bishop called for a day of thanksgiving because of the cessation of the cholera. Sorry to hear of the death of Mrs. [George?] Harrison. Has heard from Dr. Cole that the piano is being mailed to her and she is pleased for playing the piano is her only recreation and accomplishment. Her time is much taken up with receiving and returning morning calls. Judge Crittenden has died here. [Note: Mary D. Galt is Mrs. A.D. Galt.]","She is planning to sing with the choir, but worries whether she can find a beau to walk her home afterwards. She enjoys playing the piano, but is upset that hers was filled with water when it arrived. The town has had a Methodist minister, an Irishman by the name of Maffet, who has been most theatrical and has induced many of the girls to lay aside their feathers.
