Background

Scope and content:

This addition to the Terrell-Carr papers consists of the following two items: a lock of hair originally in a letter of September 4, 1802, of Edm. Bullock to Lucy Terrell [see accession #4757-b]; and a letter, January 22 [1823], M[artha] J[efferson] Minor, "Carr's brook" [Albemarle County, Virginia], to her brother, Dabney Carr Terrell, Louisville, Kentucky. Mrs. Minor discusses news of family and friends and mentions that "Mr. Jefferson broke his left arm in the fall," and that Thomas Mann Randolph was to be tendered a "publick dinner" at the end of his term as governor as well as other "hearsay information" from "Monticello."
