The contra page shows payments were mostly made in cash, but are sometimes recorded as 'sundries' or other goods.  He also lists Family Expenses on page 92, Household Stuff on page 108, and Bills Receivable on page 134.","The ledger has additional notations beginning on page 194 written in a different handwriting from the original creator, the entries of which include a range of dates between 1883 and 1895.  These entries are consistent with the use of the manuscript as a ledger by the second creator.","A notation on the first page reads \"Lancelot Burrus Book, Given to him by his Mother, January 1, 1881.\"  Lancelot Burrus was a common name within the Burrus family serving as the name of both the son and grandson of William Tandy Burrus as well as his nephew and great-nephew.","There is also a bookplate in the front of book for William Stevens.  William Stevens was the brother of Elizabeth Stevens who married into the Burrus family.","William Tandy Burrus was born in either 1766 or 1776 in St. Thomas Parish in Orange County, Virginia.  He married Martha Slaughter Burrus.  \"Burris\" is sometimes spelled \"Burris\" or \"Burruss.\"  He was the son of Thomas Burrus and Francis Tandy Burrus and had two brothers (Thomas Burrus and Roger Tandy Burrus) and three sisters.  He was a prominent land owner in Orange County, Virginia who also served as a witness for legal documents and as Justice of the Peace.  He had five daughters and five sons including Lancelot Burrus.  This Lancelot Burrus also had a son named Lancelot Burrus.  William Tandy Burrus died in 1831 in Orange County, Virginia.","William Tandy Burrus was the son of Thomas Burrus who was the son of Thomas Burrus and the brother of the William Tandy Burrus discussed previously.  His mother was Elizabeth Stevens. He married Philadelphia Burrus and died sometime before the writing of his father's will in 1836 perhaps in Clark County, Kentucky where the Burrus family had landholdings.  This branch of the Burrus family also had a number of descendants named Lancelot Burrus, including the son of William Tandy Burrus, one of whom might be the owner of the ledger in 1881.","Elizabeth Stevens, wife of Thomas Burrus, had a brother named William Stevens who is perhaps the William Stevens referred to on the name plate on the inside cover of the ledger.  William Stevens was the son of John Stevens, a prominent member of the Orange County community.  In his will, John Stevens mentions a store and house occupied by his son William Stevens.  William Stevens was born of June 22, 1773 and died in January of 1843.  He married Margaret Mill on February 9, 1801.  The Stevens and Burrus family appear to be closely connected in terms of both status, marriage, and their participation in the community.","Some names included in the ledger are:","Jackson Mills","Charles Mills","William Chiles","Henry Chiles","Jacob Graves","William M.

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 Calendarwhich 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.

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.

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\n      ","\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\n      ","\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\n      ","\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\n      ","\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\n      ","\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)\".

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.

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.

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\n      ","\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\n      ","\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\n      ","\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.

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 Calendarwhich 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.

Undated correspondence, miscellany, and printed\n         matter are placed at the end of the collection.","The Bryan Family papers comprise ca. 645 items spanning the\n         years 1770-1918. Most of the collection is correspondence\n         among Randolph, Tucker, and Bryan family members from\n         1770-1850, representing some twenty correspondents (see\n         attached appendix). There are also two letters from William\n         Wirt to John Coalter. Miscellany and some printed matter\n         complete the collection.","Students seeking to understand the relationships of the\n         various Randolph s, Tucker s, Coalter s, and Bryan s who are\n         represented copiously in the Bryan Papers must turn to the\n         history of the Randolph Family of Virginia. John Randolph, Sr.\n         (1742-1775) was the scion of a successful but not notably\n         \"elite\" Virginia family. (cf. William E. Stokes, Jr.,\n         \"Randolph of Roanoke: A Virginia Portrait; The Early Career of\n         John Randolph of Roanoke, 1773-1805,\" U. Va. Doctoral\n         Dissertation, 1955, pp. 15-16.) Randolph married his second\n         cousin, Frances Bland (sister of Theodorick Bland ) in 1769,\n         and they had three children: Richard Randolph, Theodorick\n         Randolph, and John Randolph.","John Randolph, Sr., died in October, 1775, leaving his\n         young wife with three small boys to raise. She did not,\n         however, raise them alone for long. In September, 1778,\n         Frances Bland Randolph married St. George Tucker (1752-1827),\n         a native of Bermuda who had emigrated to Virginia to pursue a\n         career at the bar. Tucker and his wife inherited the Randolph\n         estates, living at Matoax. They had several children before\n         Frances Randolph Tucker died in 1788, among them Frances\n         Tucker (\"Fanny,\" b. 1779), Henry St. George Tucker (b. 1780),\n         and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker (b. 1784).","Much of the correspondence in the Bryan Papers is carried\n         on by these people, including several letters to John\n         Randolph, Sr., (for the period 1770-1774) by his friend\n         Theodorick Bland. The great majority of the Bland letters\n         discuss business matters. Most of the letters collected here\n         were penned by John Randolph, Jr., (known after 1810 as John\n         Randolph of Roanoke ) and his step-father, St. George\n         Tucker.","Every evidence in his correspondence suggests that St.\n         George Tucker was a remarkably warm and compassionate human\n         being, as well as an able lawyer, scholar, and jurist. (There\n         is no adequate biography of Tucker, but see Charles T. Cullen,\n         \"St. George Tucker and Law in Virginia, 1772-1804,\" U. Va.\n         Doctoral Dissertation, 1971.) Tucker raised a large family,\n         including his step-sons, with great solicitude and continued\n         corresponding with most of his children through his and their\n         lives. ( John Randolph of Roanoke was an exception. See\n         Accession \n         #49, Grinnan Family Papers, 1813\n         Dec. 13, John Randolph of Roanoke to Tudor.)","Tucker's letters illuminate the early life of the brilliant\n         and erratic John Randolph of Roanoke, who served Virginia as\n         congressman and senator for nearly thirty years (1799-1813,\n         1815-1817, 1819-1829). At age nine Randolph was enrolled with\n         his older brothers in a school conducted (first in\n         Chesterfield County and then at Williamsburg ) by Walker\n         Maury, and he remained there two years (1782-1784). After\n         several years with his family, including a sojourn with the\n         Tuckers in Bermuda, Randolph was sent to Princeton grammar\n         school in 1787, and then to Columbia College, along with his\n         brother Theodorick Randolph. Several of St. George Tucker's\n         letters to his step-sons at school are preserved here,\n         including one missive admonishing Theodorick for his\n         profligacy and tendency to drunkenness (see Tucker to Theo\n         Randolph, August 30, 1789).","Most of the St. George Tucker correspondence in this\n         collection was addressed not to his Randolph step-children (or\n         to his children by Frances Bland Randolph Tucker, for that\n         matter), but to Joseph Carrington Cabell. Cabell, who in 1807\n         married Mary (Poll) Carter, the daughter of Tucker's third\n         wife, was for many years a Virginia State Senator as well as a\n         planter. Tucker's letters to him (totalling 165 in this\n         collection) bulk heavy with family talk, discussion of joint\n         business operations relating to their plantations, as well as\n         political commentary. The papers are a significant aid to any\n         student of either man's career, but particularly contribute to\n         a comprehensive picture of St. George Tucker's life and\n         thought.","Apart from family and business matters, Tucker's letters to\n         Cabell (none of Cabell's responses are preserved here) touch\n         upon such concerns as the Louisiana Purchase (Jan. 23, 1804);\n         American relations with England during the administrations of\n         Thomas Jefferson and James Madison (letters of July 30, 1807,\n         Feb. 1, 1809, Jan. 24, April 1, 1812); proposed changes in the\n         Virginia Constitution (Dec. 20, 1809, Jan. 17, 1810); various\n         reforms Tucker felt essential in Virginia (Dec. 22, 1806); the\n         utility of banks and the attitude of the legislature towards\n         banking (Jan. 3, 1812, Feb. 12, 1813, Jan. 17, 20, 24, Dec.\n         23, 1814, Jan. 30, 1817, Feb. 4, 1818); activities in the\n         Virginia legislature (Feb. 8, 12, 1813); and the War of 1812,\n         most particularly as it affected Virginia (July 9, 1812, March\n         31, April 7, 14, June 30, 1813, Jan. 2, April 4, Sept. 1, Dec.\n         9, 1814, Feb. 6, 1815).","The letters reveal Tucker's concern for improvement. As he\n         wrote to Cabell, Dec. 22, 1806, \"I heartily wish our\n         Legislators would turn their attention to the improvement of\n         our revenue; of our miserable defective judiciary system; of\n         our equally defective system of Education; and to the averting\n         from the poor the impending calamities of famine; a subject\n         more truly interesting than any Question who is right, \u0026\n         who is wrong in Congress, at present.\" They show, moreover,\n         that Tucker believed in a well regulated system of state\n         banks, and was extremely frustrated when the strict\n         construction doctrines of most Virginia legislators placed\n         obstacles in the way of such a system. The weakness this meant\n         for the state's economic development and general governmental\n         flexibility was driven home during the War of 1812, and Tucker\n         constantly harangued his friend Cabell on the subject (see\n         esp. letters of Feb. 8, 12, 1813). \"Do, for heaven's sake\n         endeavour to rouse a proper degree of exertion among those\n         members of the House of Delegates, who affect to call\n         themselves the friends of their country. PENURY at this time\n         if not worse, is full as bad as Yankee Federalism.\"","Tucker's correspondence with Joseph C. Cabell continued\n         until the year of his death, 1827, and it would appear that\n         most of it has been preserved here. These letters do not,\n         however, exhaust the Tucker materials in the Bryan Papers.\n         There is an extended correspondence with John Coalter (a\n         Tucker family tutor who eventually married Fanny Randolph\n         Tucker and entered into business with St. George Tucker ),\n         basically business oriented; seventeen letters, 1822-1826,\n         from Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan (Tucker's grand-daughter)\n         to Tucker and his wife; and one letter to St. George Tucker\n         written by his grandson, St. George Coalter, describing in\n         detail his routine at the University of Virginia (letter of\n         April 16, 1826). A note in Tucker's hand at the letter's end\n         mentions that he answered very \"fully \u0026 affectionately,\"\n         and included advice to work hard and spend time with the right\n         company.","The St. George Tucker correspondence, though extensive, is\n         not the only significant element of the correspondence\n         collected here. There is, for example, a voluminous\n         correspondence of John Randolph of Roanoke (1773-1833) with\n         Randolph and Tucker family members, and members of the Bryan\n         family, with whom Randolph had become very close as a\n         consequence of his friendship with Joseph Bryan, a Georgia\n         congressman who died in 1812. Most of the letters addressed to\n         Randolph in this collection were written by his sister-in-law,\n         Judith Randolph, whose husband Richard Randolph (Randolph's\n         eldest brother) died in 1796, and who relied heavily on\n         Randolph for emotional sustenance, financial aid, and advice\n         for many years thereafter. Much of Randolph's correspondence\n         with his extended family of in-laws, nephews and nieces, and\n         with the children of his late friend Bryan, relates to family\n         matters and \"philosophy of life\" expositions. Many of these\n         missives run to considerable length.","There is a scattering of commentary relating to government\n         and politics. For example, in a letter to John Coalter (29\n         March, 1808) Randolph discussed in detail an aborted treaty of\n         amity with England. Other letters which touch on politics are\n         found in a copy book of Randolph letters to Francis Walker\n         Gilmer for 1818-1826. For example, on Jan. 12, 1821, Randolph\n         wrote to Gilmer from Washington that \"the want of ability in\n         the two houses of Congress (with one or two splendid\n         exceptions in the Senate) is ominous. I fear of the future\n         fate of our republic--both bodies abound in men of mean\n         understandings, \u0026 meaner principles \u0026 manners. It is\n         not possible to conceive of any thing worse \u0026 the H of R\n         is a bear garden at which one blushes when a stranger\n         enters--I endeavor to hold myself entirely aloof from its\n         squabbles--for it would be an irony to term them debates.\" In\n         another letter, written at Roanoke on July 22, 1821, Randolph\n         had some astringent observations on James Monroe (a former\n         political ally) and Monroe's two predecessors in the\n         Presidential office. \"Mr. J[efferson] himself did much to\n         impair the principles upon which he was brought into power,\"\n         Randolph wrote. \"But his successor gave them the\n         coup-de-grace--the recommendation of the Bank of the U. S.\n         alone was a formal renunciation of the heresies of his\n         'Report' and a reconciliation with the holy catholic church of\n         Expediency to Existing Circumstances. The present incumbent\n         came in upon no particular principles, \u0026 as he brought\n         none with him so he will carry none away with him.\" Randolph's\n         acerbic style was evident in a letter to Gilmer commenting on\n         a speech of \"Mr. C.\" (probably Henry Clay ) in March, 1824.\n         \"Yesterday,\" Randolph wrote from Washington on March 9, \"he\n         came flushed with confidence, made five\n         speeches-bad-worse-worst, most worst, worserer, \u0026\n         worserest. Had his shallow sophistry \u0026 ignorance exposed\n         in the most glaring and mortifying manner, \u0026 never did I\n         behold humiliation \u0026 shagrin [sic] more strongly portrayed\n         than in his whole countenance \u0026 manner--when he was\n         outvoted 114-66.\"","There are also scattered political comments by Randolph in\n         a long series of letters (copies) to Elizabeth Tucker Coalter\n         Bryan from 1815-1831. Most comments in these letters, however,\n         relate to family life or reflections on life and philosophical\n         matters (e.g. the \"Worldly\" v. the \"Romantic,\" in letter of\n         Nov. 20, 1825). Others talk about books (among Randolph's\n         favorites was Smollett's \n         Humphrey Clinker), writers (\n         Henry Fielding Randolph calls \"the grossest creature\n         imaginable\"), and Randolph's past relations with his\n         correspondent's father, Joseph Bryan (letter of March 27,\n         1828). After 1827, his letters took on an increasingly\n         melancholy tone, and for long periods he functioned only\n         fitfully. See for example letters of October 10, 1828, in\n         which he said that drinking was \"my chief support,\" and Nov.\n         1, 1828, in which Randolph wrote \"I cant read, \u0026 writing\n         is very trying to me. I lie in bed as much as possible to\n         shorten the days. I breakfast about 8 dine a little after 2\n         \u0026 am abed by 7 O'clock.\" The letters often refer to death\n         and in general evince a jaundiced world view. Randolph was\n         sure that the rise of commercial spirit in America was\n         corrupting its people, and this outlook only grew more\n         pronounced in his later years. (See letters of July 27, 1825,\n         Dec. 25, 1828).","Among the last of the Randolph letters in this collection,\n         written less than a year before his death, was penned to his\n         godson, J. R. Bryan. It suggests his overall decline. \"I am\n         put into the Carriage daily \u0026 driven a mile or two but I\n         am near fainting all the time. I have to be lifted in \u0026 I\n         cannot walk or even stand without support. This morning at my\n         frugal meal of barley water \u0026 bread I had nearly fainted\n         twice from sheer debility.\" Randolph died on May 24, 1833, and\n         the collection contains a pencil scrawl of his last words, as\n         witnessed and attested by Condy Raguet of Philadelphia.","Also included in the collection is the correspondence of\n         Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan for 1834-1849, and Nathaniel\n         Beverly Tucker to Elizabeth T. Bryan for the period 1825 to\n         Tucker's death in 1851. Nearly all of these deal with family\n         concerns. There are miscellaneous letters of other Tucker,\n         Randolph, and Bryan family members, and miscellany relating to\n         John Randolph of Roanoke and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker. This\n         includes a collection of anecdotes about Randolph of Roanoke;\n         newspaper clippings about the interment of Randolph's remains\n         in Hollywood Cemetary, Richmond, in 1879; a copy of the \n         Union Seminary Magazinefor\n         Sept.-Oct. 1893, with \"Early Recollections of John Randolph,\"\n         and a copy of the Petersburg Virginia \n         Daily Index Appealfor 24 Feb.\n         1901, which contains an article on Randolph's mother, Frances\n         Bland Randolph. One folder contains a statement by Elizabeth\n         Tucker Bryan on Randolph of Roanoke's will. Also in the\n         collection are several prints of Randolph, his prayer book, a\n         newspaper clipping of a speech made by Nathaniel Beverly\n         Tucker at the Southern Convention held in Nashville in 1850 (a\n         firebrand speech warning the North to accept slavery expansion\n         and the equality of the Southern states or to expect\n         secession), and the Emmanuel Church Sunday School Roll Book\n         for 1918. Taken as a whole the collection provides much\n         material suggestive of plantation life and thought in Virginia\n         in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and\n         offers insight into the lives and thought of John Randolph of\n         Roanoke, St. George Tucker, and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker.","Correspondents in the Bryan Family Papers","John Banister\n          Theodorick Bland\n          Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan\n          J.

John Randolph, Sr.\n         (1742-1775) was the scion of a successful but not notably\n         \"elite\" Virginia family. (cf. William E.

Randolph married his second\n         cousin, Frances Bland (sister of Theodorick Bland ) in 1769,\n         and they had three children: Richard Randolph, Theodorick\n         Randolph, and John Randolph.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eJohn Randolph, Sr., died in October, 1775, leaving his\n         young wife with three small boys to raise. She did not,\n         however, raise them alone for long. In September, 1778,\n         Frances Bland Randolph married St. George Tucker (1752-1827),\n         a native of Bermuda who had emigrated to Virginia to pursue a\n         career at the bar. Tucker and his wife inherited the Randolph\n         estates, living at Matoax. They had several children before\n         Frances Randolph Tucker died in 1788, among them Frances\n         Tucker (\"Fanny,\" b. 1779), Henry St. George Tucker (b. 1780),\n         and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker (b. 1784).\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eMuch of the correspondence in the Bryan Papers is carried\n         on by these people, including several letters to John\n         Randolph, Sr., (for the period 1770-1774) by his friend\n         Theodorick Bland. The great majority of the Bland letters\n         discuss business matters. Most of the letters collected here\n         were penned by John Randolph, Jr., (known after 1810 as John\n         Randolph of Roanoke ) and his step-father, St. George\n         Tucker.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eEvery evidence in his correspondence suggests that St.\n         George Tucker was a remarkably warm and compassionate human\n         being, as well as an able lawyer, scholar, and jurist.

At age nine Randolph was enrolled with\n         his older brothers in a school conducted (first in\n         Chesterfield County and then at Williamsburg ) by Walker\n         Maury, and he remained there two years (1782-1784). After\n         several years with his family, including a sojourn with the\n         Tuckers in Bermuda, Randolph was sent to Princeton grammar\n         school in 1787, and then to Columbia College, along with his\n         brother Theodorick Randolph. Several of St. George Tucker's\n         letters to his step-sons at school are preserved here,\n         including one missive admonishing Theodorick for his\n         profligacy and tendency to drunkenness (see Tucker to Theo\n         Randolph, August 30, 1789).\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eMost of the St. George Tucker correspondence in this\n         collection was addressed not to his Randolph step-children (or\n         to his children by Frances Bland Randolph Tucker, for that\n         matter), but to Joseph Carrington Cabell. Cabell, who in 1807\n         married Mary (Poll) Carter, the daughter of Tucker's third\n         wife, was for many years a Virginia State Senator as well as a\n         planter. Tucker's letters to him (totalling 165 in this\n         collection) bulk heavy with family talk, discussion of joint\n         business operations relating to their plantations, as well as\n         political commentary. The papers are a significant aid to any\n         student of either man's career, but particularly contribute to\n         a comprehensive picture of St. George Tucker's life and\n         thought.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eApart from family and business matters, Tucker's letters to\n         Cabell (none of Cabell's responses are preserved here) touch\n         upon such concerns as the Louisiana Purchase (Jan. 23, 1804);\n         American relations with England during the administrations of\n         Thomas Jefferson and James Madison (letters of July 30, 1807,\n         Feb. 1, 1809, Jan. 24, April 1, 1812); proposed changes in the\n         Virginia Constitution (Dec. 20, 1809, Jan. 17, 1810); various\n         reforms Tucker felt essential in Virginia (Dec. 22, 1806); the\n         utility of banks and the attitude of the legislature towards\n         banking (Jan. 3, 1812, Feb. 12, 1813, Jan. 17, 20, 24, Dec.\n         23, 1814, Jan. 30, 1817, Feb. 4, 1818); activities in the\n         Virginia legislature (Feb. 8, 12, 1813); and the War of 1812,\n         most particularly as it affected Virginia (July 9, 1812, March\n         31, April 7, 14, June 30, 1813, Jan. 2, April 4, Sept. 1, Dec.\n         9, 1814, Feb. 6, 1815).\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eThe letters reveal Tucker's concern for improvement.

The weakness this meant\n         for the state's economic development and general governmental\n         flexibility was driven home during the War of 1812, and Tucker\n         constantly harangued his friend Cabell on the subject (see\n         esp. letters of Feb. 8, 12, 1813). \"Do, for heaven's sake\n         endeavour to rouse a proper degree of exertion among those\n         members of the House of Delegates, who affect to call\n         themselves the friends of their country.

Cabell continued\n         until the year of his death, 1827, and it would appear that\n         most of it has been preserved here. These letters do not,\n         however, exhaust the Tucker materials in the Bryan Papers.\n         There is an extended correspondence with John Coalter (a\n         Tucker family tutor who eventually married Fanny Randolph\n         Tucker and entered into business with St. George Tucker ),\n         basically business oriented; seventeen letters, 1822-1826,\n         from Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan (Tucker's grand-daughter)\n         to Tucker and his wife; and one letter to St. George Tucker\n         written by his grandson, St. George Coalter, describing in\n         detail his routine at the University of Virginia (letter of\n         April 16, 1826). A note in Tucker's hand at the letter's end\n         mentions that he answered very \"fully \u0026amp; affectionately,\"\n         and included advice to work hard and spend time with the right\n         company.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eThe St. George Tucker correspondence, though extensive, is\n         not the only significant element of the correspondence\n         collected here. There is, for example, a voluminous\n         correspondence of John Randolph of Roanoke (1773-1833) with\n         Randolph and Tucker family members, and members of the Bryan\n         family, with whom Randolph had become very close as a\n         consequence of his friendship with Joseph Bryan, a Georgia\n         congressman who died in 1812. Most of the letters addressed to\n         Randolph in this collection were written by his sister-in-law,\n         Judith Randolph, whose husband Richard Randolph (Randolph's\n         eldest brother) died in 1796, and who relied heavily on\n         Randolph for emotional sustenance, financial aid, and advice\n         for many years thereafter. Much of Randolph's correspondence\n         with his extended family of in-laws, nephews and nieces, and\n         with the children of his late friend Bryan, relates to family\n         matters and \"philosophy of life\" expositions. Many of these\n         missives run to considerable length.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eThere is a scattering of commentary relating to government\n         and politics. For example, in a letter to John Coalter (29\n         March, 1808) Randolph discussed in detail an aborted treaty of\n         amity with England. Other letters which touch on politics are\n         found in a copy book of Randolph letters to Francis Walker\n         Gilmer for 1818-1826. For example, on Jan. 12, 1821, Randolph\n         wrote to Gilmer from Washington that \"the want of ability in\n         the two houses of Congress (with one or two splendid\n         exceptions in the Senate) is ominous. I fear of the future\n         fate of our republic--both bodies abound in men of mean\n         understandings, \u0026amp; meaner principles \u0026amp; manners. It is\n         not possible to conceive of any thing worse \u0026amp; the H of R\n         is a bear garden at which one blushes when a stranger\n         enters--I endeavor to hold myself entirely aloof from its\n         squabbles--for it would be an irony to term them debates.\" In\n         another letter, written at Roanoke on July 22, 1821, Randolph\n         had some astringent observations on James Monroe (a former\n         political ally) and Monroe's two predecessors in the\n         Presidential office. \"Mr. J[efferson] himself did much to\n         impair the principles upon which he was brought into power,\"\n         Randolph wrote. \"But his successor gave them the\n         coup-de-grace--the recommendation of the Bank of the U. S.\n         alone was a formal renunciation of the heresies of his\n         'Report' and a reconciliation with the holy catholic church of\n         Expediency to Existing Circumstances. The present incumbent\n         came in upon no particular principles, \u0026amp; as he brought\n         none with him so he will carry none away with him.\" Randolph's\n         acerbic style was evident in a letter to Gilmer commenting on\n         a speech of \"Mr. C.\" (probably Henry Clay ) in March, 1824.\n         \"Yesterday,\" Randolph wrote from Washington on March 9, \"he\n         came flushed with confidence, made five\n         speeches-bad-worse-worst, most worst, worserer, \u0026amp;\n         worserest.

Most comments in these letters, however,\n         relate to family life or reflections on life and philosophical\n         matters (e.g. the \"Worldly\" v. the \"Romantic,\" in letter of\n         Nov. 20, 1825). Others talk about books (among Randolph's\n         favorites was Smollett's \n         \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"italic\" href=\"\"\u003eHumphrey Clinker\u003c/title\u003e), writers (\n         Henry Fielding Randolph calls \"the grossest creature\n         imaginable\"), and Randolph's past relations with his\n         correspondent's father, Joseph Bryan (letter of March 27,\n         1828). After 1827, his letters took on an increasingly\n         melancholy tone, and for long periods he functioned only\n         fitfully. See for example letters of October 10, 1828, in\n         which he said that drinking was \"my chief support,\" and Nov.\n         1, 1828, in which Randolph wrote \"I cant read, \u0026amp; writing\n         is very trying to me. I lie in bed as much as possible to\n         shorten the days. I breakfast about 8 dine a little after 2\n         \u0026amp; am abed by 7 O'clock.\" The letters often refer to death\n         and in general evince a jaundiced world view. Randolph was\n         sure that the rise of commercial spirit in America was\n         corrupting its people, and this outlook only grew more\n         pronounced in his later years. (See letters of July 27, 1825,\n         Dec. 25, 1828).\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eAmong the last of the Randolph letters in this collection,\n         written less than a year before his death, was penned to his\n         godson, J.

I have to be lifted in \u0026amp; I\n         cannot walk or even stand without support. This morning at my\n         frugal meal of barley water \u0026amp; bread I had nearly fainted\n         twice from sheer debility.\" Randolph died on May 24, 1833, and\n         the collection contains a pencil scrawl of his last words, as\n         witnessed and attested by Condy Raguet of Philadelphia.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eAlso included in the collection is the correspondence of\n         Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan for 1834-1849, and Nathaniel\n         Beverly Tucker to Elizabeth T. Bryan for the period 1825 to\n         Tucker's death in 1851. Nearly all of these deal with family\n         concerns. There are miscellaneous letters of other Tucker,\n         Randolph, and Bryan family members, and miscellany relating to\n         John Randolph of Roanoke and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker. This\n         includes a collection of anecdotes about Randolph of Roanoke;\n         newspaper clippings about the interment of Randolph's remains\n         in Hollywood Cemetary, Richmond, in 1879; a copy of the \n         \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"italic\" href=\"\"\u003eUnion Seminary Magazine\u003c/title\u003efor\n         Sept.-Oct. 1893, with \"Early Recollections of John Randolph,\"\n         and a copy of the Petersburg Virginia \n         \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"italic\" href=\"\"\u003eDaily Index Appeal\u003c/title\u003efor 24 Feb.\n         1901, which contains an article on Randolph's mother, Frances\n         Bland Randolph.

Taken as a whole the collection provides much\n         material suggestive of plantation life and thought in Virginia\n         in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and\n         offers insight into the lives and thought of John Randolph of\n         Roanoke, St. George Tucker, and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eCorrespondents in the Bryan Family Papers\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003e\n        \u003clist type=\"simple\"\u003e\n          \u003citem\u003eJohn Banister\u003c/item\u003e\n          \u003citem\u003eTheodorick Bland\u003c/item\u003e\n          \u003citem\u003eElizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan\u003c/item\u003e\n          \u003citem\u003eJ.

Most of the collection is correspondence\n         among Randolph, Tucker, and Bryan family members from\n         1770-1850, representing some twenty correspondents (see\n         attached appendix). There are also two letters from William\n         Wirt to John Coalter. Miscellany and some printed matter\n         complete the collection.","Students seeking to understand the relationships of the\n         various Randolph s, Tucker s, Coalter s, and Bryan s who are\n         represented copiously in the Bryan Papers must turn to the\n         history of the Randolph Family of Virginia. John Randolph, Sr.\n         (1742-1775) was the scion of a successful but not notably\n         \"elite\" Virginia family. (cf. William E. Stokes, Jr.,\n         \"Randolph of Roanoke: A Virginia Portrait; The Early Career of\n         John Randolph of Roanoke, 1773-1805,\" U. Va. Doctoral\n         Dissertation, 1955, pp. 15-16.) Randolph married his second\n         cousin, Frances Bland (sister of Theodorick Bland ) in 1769,\n         and they had three children: Richard Randolph, Theodorick\n         Randolph, and John Randolph.","John Randolph, Sr., died in October, 1775, leaving his\n         young wife with three small boys to raise. She did not,\n         however, raise them alone for long. In September, 1778,\n         Frances Bland Randolph married St. George Tucker (1752-1827),\n         a native of Bermuda who had emigrated to Virginia to pursue a\n         career at the bar. Tucker and his wife inherited the Randolph\n         estates, living at Matoax. They had several children before\n         Frances Randolph Tucker died in 1788, among them Frances\n         Tucker (\"Fanny,\" b. 1779), Henry St. George Tucker (b. 1780),\n         and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker (b. 1784).","Much of the correspondence in the Bryan Papers is carried\n         on by these people, including several letters to John\n         Randolph, Sr., (for the period 1770-1774) by his friend\n         Theodorick Bland. The great majority of the Bland letters\n         discuss business matters. Most of the letters collected here\n         were penned by John Randolph, Jr., (known after 1810 as John\n         Randolph of Roanoke ) and his step-father, St. George\n         Tucker.","Every evidence in his correspondence suggests that St.\n         George Tucker was a remarkably warm and compassionate human\n         being, as well as an able lawyer, scholar, and jurist. (There\n         is no adequate biography of Tucker, but see Charles T. Cullen,\n         \"St. George Tucker and Law in Virginia, 1772-1804,\" U. Va.\n         Doctoral Dissertation, 1971.) Tucker raised a large family,\n         including his step-sons, with great solicitude and continued\n         corresponding with most of his children through his and their\n         lives. ( John Randolph of Roanoke was an exception. See\n         Accession \n         #49, Grinnan Family Papers, 1813\n         Dec. 13, John Randolph of Roanoke to Tudor.)","Tucker's letters illuminate the early life of the brilliant\n         and erratic John Randolph of Roanoke, who served Virginia as\n         congressman and senator for nearly thirty years (1799-1813,\n         1815-1817, 1819-1829). At age nine Randolph was enrolled with\n         his older brothers in a school conducted (first in\n         Chesterfield County and then at Williamsburg ) by Walker\n         Maury, and he remained there two years (1782-1784). After\n         several years with his family, including a sojourn with the\n         Tuckers in Bermuda, Randolph was sent to Princeton grammar\n         school in 1787, and then to Columbia College, along with his\n         brother Theodorick Randolph. Several of St. George Tucker's\n         letters to his step-sons at school are preserved here,\n         including one missive admonishing Theodorick for his\n         profligacy and tendency to drunkenness (see Tucker to Theo\n         Randolph, August 30, 1789).","Most of the St. George Tucker correspondence in this\n         collection was addressed not to his Randolph step-children (or\n         to his children by Frances Bland Randolph Tucker, for that\n         matter), but to Joseph Carrington Cabell. Cabell, who in 1807\n         married Mary (Poll) Carter, the daughter of Tucker's third\n         wife, was for many years a Virginia State Senator as well as a\n         planter. Tucker's letters to him (totalling 165 in this\n         collection) bulk heavy with family talk, discussion of joint\n         business operations relating to their plantations, as well as\n         political commentary. The papers are a significant aid to any\n         student of either man's career, but particularly contribute to\n         a comprehensive picture of St. George Tucker's life and\n         thought.","Apart from family and business matters, Tucker's letters to\n         Cabell (none of Cabell's responses are preserved here) touch\n         upon such concerns as the Louisiana Purchase (Jan. 23, 1804);\n         American relations with England during the administrations of\n         Thomas Jefferson and James Madison (letters of July 30, 1807,\n         Feb. 1, 1809, Jan. 24, April 1, 1812); proposed changes in the\n         Virginia Constitution (Dec. 20, 1809, Jan. 17, 1810); various\n         reforms Tucker felt essential in Virginia (Dec. 22, 1806); the\n         utility of banks and the attitude of the legislature towards\n         banking (Jan. 3, 1812, Feb. 12, 1813, Jan. 17, 20, 24, Dec.\n         23, 1814, Jan. 30, 1817, Feb. 4, 1818); activities in the\n         Virginia legislature (Feb. 8, 12, 1813); and the War of 1812,\n         most particularly as it affected Virginia (July 9, 1812, March\n         31, April 7, 14, June 30, 1813, Jan. 2, April 4, Sept. 1, Dec.\n         9, 1814, Feb. 6, 1815).","The letters reveal Tucker's concern for improvement. As he\n         wrote to Cabell, Dec. 22, 1806, \"I heartily wish our\n         Legislators would turn their attention to the improvement of\n         our revenue; of our miserable defective judiciary system; of\n         our equally defective system of Education; and to the averting\n         from the poor the impending calamities of famine; a subject\n         more truly interesting than any Question who is right, \u0026\n         who is wrong in Congress, at present.\" They show, moreover,\n         that Tucker believed in a well regulated system of state\n         banks, and was extremely frustrated when the strict\n         construction doctrines of most Virginia legislators placed\n         obstacles in the way of such a system. The weakness this meant\n         for the state's economic development and general governmental\n         flexibility was driven home during the War of 1812, and Tucker\n         constantly harangued his friend Cabell on the subject (see\n         esp. letters of Feb. 8, 12, 1813). \"Do, for heaven's sake\n         endeavour to rouse a proper degree of exertion among those\n         members of the House of Delegates, who affect to call\n         themselves the friends of their country. PENURY at this time\n         if not worse, is full as bad as Yankee Federalism.\"","Tucker's correspondence with Joseph C. Cabell continued\n         until the year of his death, 1827, and it would appear that\n         most of it has been preserved here. These letters do not,\n         however, exhaust the Tucker materials in the Bryan Papers.\n         There is an extended correspondence with John Coalter (a\n         Tucker family tutor who eventually married Fanny Randolph\n         Tucker and entered into business with St. George Tucker ),\n         basically business oriented; seventeen letters, 1822-1826,\n         from Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan (Tucker's grand-daughter)\n         to Tucker and his wife; and one letter to St. George Tucker\n         written by his grandson, St. George Coalter, describing in\n         detail his routine at the University of Virginia (letter of\n         April 16, 1826). A note in Tucker's hand at the letter's end\n         mentions that he answered very \"fully \u0026 affectionately,\"\n         and included advice to work hard and spend time with the right\n         company.","The St. George Tucker correspondence, though extensive, is\n         not the only significant element of the correspondence\n         collected here. There is, for example, a voluminous\n         correspondence of John Randolph of Roanoke (1773-1833) with\n         Randolph and Tucker family members, and members of the Bryan\n         family, with whom Randolph had become very close as a\n         consequence of his friendship with Joseph Bryan, a Georgia\n         congressman who died in 1812. Most of the letters addressed to\n         Randolph in this collection were written by his sister-in-law,\n         Judith Randolph, whose husband Richard Randolph (Randolph's\n         eldest brother) died in 1796, and who relied heavily on\n         Randolph for emotional sustenance, financial aid, and advice\n         for many years thereafter. Much of Randolph's correspondence\n         with his extended family of in-laws, nephews and nieces, and\n         with the children of his late friend Bryan, relates to family\n         matters and \"philosophy of life\" expositions. Many of these\n         missives run to considerable length.","There is a scattering of commentary relating to government\n         and politics. For example, in a letter to John Coalter (29\n         March, 1808) Randolph discussed in detail an aborted treaty of\n         amity with England. Other letters which touch on politics are\n         found in a copy book of Randolph letters to Francis Walker\n         Gilmer for 1818-1826. For example, on Jan. 12, 1821, Randolph\n         wrote to Gilmer from Washington that \"the want of ability in\n         the two houses of Congress (with one or two splendid\n         exceptions in the Senate) is ominous. I fear of the future\n         fate of our republic--both bodies abound in men of mean\n         understandings, \u0026 meaner principles \u0026 manners. It is\n         not possible to conceive of any thing worse \u0026 the H of R\n         is a bear garden at which one blushes when a stranger\n         enters--I endeavor to hold myself entirely aloof from its\n         squabbles--for it would be an irony to term them debates.\" In\n         another letter, written at Roanoke on July 22, 1821, Randolph\n         had some astringent observations on James Monroe (a former\n         political ally) and Monroe's two predecessors in the\n         Presidential office. \"Mr. J[efferson] himself did much to\n         impair the principles upon which he was brought into power,\"\n         Randolph wrote. \"But his successor gave them the\n         coup-de-grace--the recommendation of the Bank of the U. S.\n         alone was a formal renunciation of the heresies of his\n         'Report' and a reconciliation with the holy catholic church of\n         Expediency to Existing Circumstances. The present incumbent\n         came in upon no particular principles, \u0026 as he brought\n         none with him so he will carry none away with him.\" Randolph's\n         acerbic style was evident in a letter to Gilmer commenting on\n         a speech of \"Mr. C.\" (probably Henry Clay ) in March, 1824.\n         \"Yesterday,\" Randolph wrote from Washington on March 9, \"he\n         came flushed with confidence, made five\n         speeches-bad-worse-worst, most worst, worserer, \u0026\n         worserest. Had his shallow sophistry \u0026 ignorance exposed\n         in the most glaring and mortifying manner, \u0026 never did I\n         behold humiliation \u0026 shagrin [sic] more strongly portrayed\n         than in his whole countenance \u0026 manner--when he was\n         outvoted 114-66.\"","There are also scattered political comments by Randolph in\n         a long series of letters (copies) to Elizabeth Tucker Coalter\n         Bryan from 1815-1831. Most comments in these letters, however,\n         relate to family life or reflections on life and philosophical\n         matters (e.g. the \"Worldly\" v. the \"Romantic,\" in letter of\n         Nov. 20, 1825). Others talk about books (among Randolph's\n         favorites was Smollett's \n         Humphrey Clinker), writers (\n         Henry Fielding Randolph calls \"the grossest creature\n         imaginable\"), and Randolph's past relations with his\n         correspondent's father, Joseph Bryan (letter of March 27,\n         1828). After 1827, his letters took on an increasingly\n         melancholy tone, and for long periods he functioned only\n         fitfully. See for example letters of October 10, 1828, in\n         which he said that drinking was \"my chief support,\" and Nov.\n         1, 1828, in which Randolph wrote \"I cant read, \u0026 writing\n         is very trying to me. I lie in bed as much as possible to\n         shorten the days. I breakfast about 8 dine a little after 2\n         \u0026 am abed by 7 O'clock.\" The letters often refer to death\n         and in general evince a jaundiced world view. Randolph was\n         sure that the rise of commercial spirit in America was\n         corrupting its people, and this outlook only grew more\n         pronounced in his later years. (See letters of July 27, 1825,\n         Dec. 25, 1828).","Among the last of the Randolph letters in this collection,\n         written less than a year before his death, was penned to his\n         godson, J. R. Bryan. It suggests his overall decline. \"I am\n         put into the Carriage daily \u0026 driven a mile or two but I\n         am near fainting all the time. I have to be lifted in \u0026 I\n         cannot walk or even stand without support. This morning at my\n         frugal meal of barley water \u0026 bread I had nearly fainted\n         twice from sheer debility.\" Randolph died on May 24, 1833, and\n         the collection contains a pencil scrawl of his last words, as\n         witnessed and attested by Condy Raguet of Philadelphia.","Also included in the collection is the correspondence of\n         Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan for 1834-1849, and Nathaniel\n         Beverly Tucker to Elizabeth T. Bryan for the period 1825 to\n         Tucker's death in 1851. Nearly all of these deal with family\n         concerns. There are miscellaneous letters of other Tucker,\n         Randolph, and Bryan family members, and miscellany relating to\n         John Randolph of Roanoke and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker. This\n         includes a collection of anecdotes about Randolph of Roanoke;\n         newspaper clippings about the interment of Randolph's remains\n         in Hollywood Cemetary, Richmond, in 1879; a copy of the \n         Union Seminary Magazinefor\n         Sept.-Oct. 1893, with \"Early Recollections of John Randolph,\"\n         and a copy of the Petersburg Virginia \n         Daily Index Appealfor 24 Feb.\n         1901, which contains an article on Randolph's mother, Frances\n         Bland Randolph. One folder contains a statement by Elizabeth\n         Tucker Bryan on Randolph of Roanoke's will. Also in the\n         collection are several prints of Randolph, his prayer book, a\n         newspaper clipping of a speech made by Nathaniel Beverly\n         Tucker at the Southern Convention held in Nashville in 1850 (a\n         firebrand speech warning the North to accept slavery expansion\n         and the equality of the Southern states or to expect\n         secession), and the Emmanuel Church Sunday School Roll Book\n         for 1918. Taken as a whole the collection provides much\n         material suggestive of plantation life and thought in Virginia\n         in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and\n         offers insight into the lives and thought of John Randolph of\n         Roanoke, St. George Tucker, and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker.","Correspondents in the Bryan Family Papers","John Banister\n          Theodorick Bland\n          Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan\n          J.
