*There must have been some accident at the moment of observation which kept my thermometer up to–1½. It has always corresponded well with that of the Royal Observatory, which was this morning at 17½° of Reaumur below freezing, and the thermometer of the Marine Observatory was 18.4° below freezing which is 41.4° of Farenheit below freezing, and 9.4° below zero.

3TJ’s nephew Dabney Carr (1773-1837), later an eminent lawyer and jurist, was matriculating at the Rev. Matthew Maury’s school in northeast Albemarle County (TJ to Maury, 8 Jan. 1790).

4TJ was at Bremo, the Fluvanna County plantation on the James River owned by John Hartwell Cocke (1749-1791) of Surry County (MB 20 Nov. 1811). The day before TJ and RJ had been across the river at John Nicholas, Sr.’s, Seven Islands in order to settle the PJ estate (TJ to Nicholas, 20 Jan. 1790).

5There is no other reference in MB to this transaction.

6 Davy (1755-after 1827), a slave inherited from the Wayles estate, was a carpenter at Monticello. John (1753-after 1827), also a former Wayles slave, was a gardener at Monticello.

7The Rev. Matthew Maury had officiated at the marriage of Martha Jefferson and her third cousin Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr. (1768-1828), at Monticello on Tuesday, 23 Feb. 1790. For an account of the courtship and marriage see Gaines, Randolph, p. 24-30 description begins William H. Gaines, Jr., Thomas Mann Randolph, Jefferson’s Son-in-Law, Baton Rouge, La., 1966 description ends , and for the financial arrangements, see Papers, xvi, 189-91 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends .

8TJ had accepted appointment to the office of Secretary of State on 14 Feb. (TJ to George Washington, 14 Feb. 1790). On 1 Mch. he left Monticello for New York, stopping a week in Richmond to settle his accounts with Kippen & Co. and Farell & Jones, his two major creditors. TJ and James Hemings then travelled in the public stage to Alexandria, where Robert Hemings met them with TJ’s phaeton and horses. Snow compelled TJ and his servants to continue to New York by stage, however, and the phaeton was sent on by water (TJ to William Fitzhugh, 11 Mch. 1790; TJ to TMR, 28 Mch. 1790).

9The Frog ordinary was the nickname earned by the Fork or Fork Church ordinary near present Central Plains, Fluvanna County (MB 24 Dec. 1771, cash accounts; Fluvanna County Deed Book, ii, 128, Fluvanna County Courthouse, Palmyra, Va.).

10 James Quarles kept an ordinary at his house in Columbia, a town established in 1788 at Point of Fork, the confluence of the James and Rivanna rivers (Fluvanna County Court Order Book 1792-1796, p. 84, Fluvanna County Courthouse, Palmyra, Va.; Hening, Statutes, xii, 682-3 description begins William Waller Hening, The Statutes at Large; Being a Collection of All the Laws of Virginia, Richmond, 1809-1823, 13 vols. description ends ).

11These bonds are in MHi. TJ’s payments lagged behind the schedule of the bonds and he still owed most of the sixth bond in 1821, when the account was settled anew (TJ to James Lyle, 7 Mch. 1790; MB 1 Aug. 1789, 16 June 1821). On the fate of the bond to Richard Harvie, see MB 18 Apr. 1775.

12 Richard Hanson of Petersburg was attorney for William Jones, the surviving partner of the British firm of Farell & Jones, the major creditor of the Wayles estate. Hanson had met with the three executors, TJ, Francis Eppes, and Henry Skipwith, at Monticello in February and agreed to divide the indebtedness of the estate into three parts and to charge no interest for the war years. TJ’s share of the debt, £3,749–7–3½ as agreed to on 7 Feb. 1790, was reduced by credit for a tobacco shipment to £2,809–8–4, the total of the bonds signed here. Final payment on the bonds was not made until 1807 (MB 25 Nov. 1774, 7 Mch. 1807; Papers, xv, 645-7, 674-6 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ).

13TJ was selling extra copies of the map he had produced to accompany his Notes on Virginia (MB 30 June 1787).

14In Nov. 1790 William Jones brought suit against the executors of John Wayles for almost £8,000, the proceeds of the sale of a cargo of slaves consigned to the firm of Wayles and Richard Randolph in 1772. TJ considered that all liabilities of the consignees had devolved on Randolph at Wayles’ death, and in 1797 the case was decided in favor of the Wayles executors (TJ to Henry Skipwith, 6 May 1791; Papers, xv, 647-8, 676-7 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ).

15TJ used Tarquin, a large elegant roan, as a riding horse until 1793, when he gave him to TMR (TJ to William Fitzhugh, 21 July 1790; Betts, Farm Book, p. 95-7 description begins Thomas Jefferson’s Farm Book, ed. Edwin M. Betts, Princeton, N.J., 1953 description ends ).

16 John Wise’s Fountain Tavern on Royal Street had been the scene of a public dinner honoring TJ on 11 Mch. (Papers, xvi, 224-5 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ; The Virginia Journal, and Alexandria Advertiser, 17 Aug. 1786).

17While in Philadelphia TJ called on Benjamin Franklin, “then on the bed of sickness from which he never rose.” Franklin died on 17 Apr. (TJ Autobiography, L & B, i, 161-2; TJ to Le Veillard, 5 Apr. 1790).

18The famous City Tavern, torn down in 1793, was at 115 Broadway, between Cedar and Thames streets (Stokes, Iconography, iii, 977 description begins Isaac Newton Phelps Stokes, The Iconography of Manhattan Island, New York, 1915-1928, 6 vols. description ends ). TJ may have stayed there briefly, but the absence of any payments connected with this hostelry, kept at this time by Edward Bardin, suggests that TJ began lodging immediately at Mrs. Dunscomb’s (see note 23 below).

19 Timothy Wood was a shoemaker at 28 Hanover Square (N.Y. Dir.).

20With the exception of the one he used while minister to France, all TJ’s surviving visiting cards bear only his name. The type purchased here may be that which has “Mr. Jefferson” in script within a classical border; an example survives at Monticello (James A. Bear, Jr., “Mr. Jefferson Called,” Anniversary Dinner at Monticello, April 13, 1969 [Charlottesville, Va., 1969]).

21Hoping to find a more suitable dwelling when his furniture arrived from France, TJ took this “small” “indifferent” house at 57 Maiden Lane as a stopgap measure in a city with a housing shortage. It was rented from Robert and Peter Bruce, grocers at 3 Front Street. TJ did not move in, however, until 2 June, probably so that he could have a book gallery built onto the back of the house. The expense of this addition was evidently borne by the Bruces and is reflected in an increase of the annual rent, to £109–9 (TJ to TMR, 28 Mch. 1790; TJ to MJR, 4 Apr. 1790; N.Y. Dir.; TJ to W. T. Franklin, 16 July 1790; Kimball, TJ Architect, p. 150-51 description begins Fiske Kimball, Thomas Jefferson, Architect, 1916, repr. New York, 1968 description ends ). TJ lived in the house for three months but had to pay nine months rent; the last six months of the lease were sold at half price (Henry Remsen to TJ, 6 Sep., 14 Oct. 1790; TJ to Remsen, 1 Oct. 1790; TJ to R. and P. Bruce, 5 Apr. 1791).

22 Herman LeRoy and William Bayard were partners in the prominent New York mercantile firm, LeRoy & Bayard, located at 202 Water Street (N.Y. Dir.; TJ to LeRoy & Bayard, 3 Apr. 1790).

23TJ evidently lodged with Mrs. Dunscomb, a boardinghouse keeper at 22 King Street, from his arrival in New York until he moved to 57 Maiden Lane on 2 June (N.Y. Dir.).

24 R. Roberts was a hatter at 29 Hanover Square (N.Y. Dir.).

25Richmond merchant James Brown (1762-1841) was agent for the firm of Donald & Burton and later formed, with Robert Rives, the prominent commission house of Brown, Rives & Co. (TJ to Alexander Donald, 11 Apr., 25 Nov. 1790; Norfleet, Saint-Mémin, p. 146 description begins Fillmore Norfleet, Saint-Mémin in Virginia: Portraits and Biographies, Richmond, Va., 1942 description ends ).

26On 13 Apr. TJ had witnessed the marriage of the French chargé d’affaires, Louis Guillaume Otto, to the daughter of Hector St. Jean de Crèvecoeur (New York Daily Advertiser, 14 Apr. 1790).

27The engravings of John Trumbull’s paintings, Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker’s Hill and Death of General Montgomery in the Attack on Quebec, were not published until 1798. One of TJ’s sets, for which he made final payment in 1800, is now at Monticello (MB 6 May 1800; Papers, xvi, 550 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ; Trumbull, Autobiography, p. 164-5, 219 description begins The Autobiography of Colonel John Trumbull, ed. Theodore Sizer, New Haven, 1953 description ends ; Autobiography, Reminiscences and Letters of John Trumbull from 1756 to 1841 [New Haven, 1841], p. 339-45).

28 Christopher Colles, A Survey of the Roads of the United States (New York, 1789), is considered the earliest American road guide. In its most complete extant state it consists of a title page and eighty-three plates which show the main roads from Albany, N.Y., in the north and Stratford, Conn., in the east to Williamsburg and Yorktown in the south. For this payment TJ received the title page and an undetermined number of plates; his 30 July and 5 Aug. payments were for additional plates (Colles, Roads, p. 41-55 description begins Christopher Colles, A Survey of the Roads of the United States of America, 1789, ed. Walter W. Ristow, Cambridge, Mass., 1961 description ends ; Sowerby, No. 4164 description begins E. Millicent Sowerby, comp., Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson, Washington, D.C., 1952-1959, 6 vols. description ends ).

29 Alexander McCaul to TJ, 15 Jan. 1790, and James Lyle to TJ, 10 Apr. 1790 (missing).

30TJ’s habitual notice of the spring arrival of the first purple martins can be followed in Betts, Garden Book description begins Thomas Jefferson’s Garden Book, ed. Edwin M. Betts, Philadelphia, 1944 description ends .

31This caricature, not identified, may be the subject of the “prints of a new kind” which TJ sent to his daughter ten days later (TJ to Mary Jefferson, 2 May 1790).

32On 1 May TJ was stricken with an attack of his “periodical” headache. Although more moderate than previous attacks, it was the first which failed to respond to the use of Peruvian bark, and it lingered until the middle of June, confining TJ to his house and restricting his attention to business and correspondence (TJ to George Buchanan and Peter Carr, 13 June 1790; Papers, xvi, 605-6).

33François (Francis) Seche served as TJ’s coachman until Oct. 1792.

34 St. Jean de Crèvecoeur carried TJ’s gift of Canada balsam to Nicolas Deville (d. 1794), a fermier-général whom TJ had known in Paris in the society of the Abbés Arnoux and Chalut and Deville’s father-in-law, Chalut de Vérin (TJ to Abbés Arnoux and Chalut, 5 Apr. 1790; Yves Durand, Les Fermiers-généraux au xviiie siècle [Paris, 1971], p. 355, 604, 626).

35 William Buckle was a jeweller and ironmonger at 9 Water Street (N.Y. Dir.).

36Dr. John Gibson’s office was at 8 Water Street (N.Y. Dir.).

37 Henry Remsen, Jr., was chief clerk of the foreign department of the Department of State. With the resignation of Roger Alden in July 1790, he became TJ’s sole chief clerk, serving until 1 Apr. 1792 (Papers, xvii, 358 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ).

38 Berry & Rogers were jewellers and booksellers in Hanover Square (N.Y. Dir.).

39 William Grigg was a jewelry and hardware merchant at 1 William Street (N.Y. Dir.).

40 James Farquhar was a merchant at 5 Hanover Square and president of the Marine Society of New York (N.Y. Dir., p. 131).

41 Richard Kip, Jr., was an upholsterer at 27 Hanover Square (N.Y. Dir.).

42TJ let Robert Hemings go to Fredericksburg to find a place as a servant, subject to recall to Monticello for TJ’s visits there. Bob took a position with George Carter of Williamsburg (TJ to William Fitzhugh, 21 July, 24 Aug. 1790).

43This entry casts some doubt on the conclusion that TJ actually accompanied George Washington on a three-day “sailing party,” as he said he would in letters to MJR and William Short, 6 June 1790. The president enjoyed fine weather and fishing off the New Jersey coast from 7 to 9 June, but no further reference by TJ to the outing has been found. His report on the appearance on 8 June of the first peas and strawberries, as well as the whippoorwill, also suggests that he may have decided to remain in New York City (Gazette of the United States, 12 June 1790; TJ to Mary Jefferson, 13 June 1790).

44 Robert Tree was a barber at 2 Old Slip (N.Y. Dir.).

45This is probably the small etching made by Joseph Wright from a drawing taken without George Washington’s knowledge, while he was attending church. TJ sent a second print, purchased 23 June, to MJR (W. S. Baker, The Engraved Portraits of Washington [Philadelphia, 1880], p. 48-9; TJ to MJR, 27 June 1790).

46This “Hickler” and the “Strickler” of 30 Aug. 1790 both may be John Stickler, blacksmith at 80 Broadway (N.Y. Dir.).

47William Bartram, Travels through North & South Carolina, Georgia, East & West Florida (Philadelphia, 1791; Sowerby, No. 4029 description begins E. Millicent Sowerby, comp., Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson, Washington, D.C., 1952-1959, 6 vols. description ends ).

48 John B. Dash, Jr., sold hardware and ironmongery at 61 Broadway (N.Y. Dir.).

49TJ’s salary as Secretary of State was $3,500 per year (Papers, xvii, 356 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ).

50 William Williams had china stores at 80 William Street and 30 Maiden Lane (N.Y. Dir.).

51 John Hinton was a cutler at 23 Water Street (N.Y. Dir.).

52Correctly twenty shillings.

53TJ joined President Washington and other members of his party for an outing to the northern end of Manhattan Island. They viewed the site of Fort Washington and dined at Washington’s 1776 headquarters, the present Jumel Mansion at West 160th Street and Edgecomb Avenue (MB 6 June 1784; Diaries of George Washington, vi, 92-3 description begins The Diaries of George Washington, ed. Donald Jackson and Dorothy Twohig, Charlottesville, Va., 1976-1979, 6 vols. description ends ; Stokes, Iconography, iii, 951 description begins Isaac Newton Phelps Stokes, The Iconography of Manhattan Island, New York, 1915-1928, 6 vols. description ends ).

54Two of TJ’s contemporaries described the experience of sailing through the Hell Gate, the narrow channel of the East River between Long Island and the mainland, at this time about five miles north of New York City (Wansey, Journal, p. 75 description begins Henry Wansey and His American Journal, ed. David John Jeremy, Philadelphia, 1970 description ends ; Niemcewicz, Travels, p. 129-30 description begins Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz, Under Their Vine and Fig Tree: Travels through America in 1797-1799, 1805, ed. Metchie J. E. Budka, Elizabeth, N.J., 1965 description ends ).

55 Christian Baehr was a merchant tailor at 49 Wall Street (N.Y. Dir.).

56 Benjamin Haight was a saddler at 53 Broadway (N.Y. Dir.).

57 John Graham was a tinsmith at 8 Maiden Lane (N.Y. Dir.).

58The merchant John Pintard (1759-1844) was clerk for foreign languages in the Department of State under TJ until the removal of the government to Philadelphia (Papers, xvii, 352-3 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ).

59 Charles Brannon’s “Tea Garden,” located outside the city near the Hudson River at present Spring and Hudson streets, served tea, coffee, ice cream, and iced drinks, and had a large collection of exotic plants in a “good greenhouse” (Wansey, Journal, p. 132 description begins Henry Wansey and His American Journal, ed. David John Jeremy, Philadelphia, 1970 description ends ; Stokes, Iconography, iii, 977 description begins Isaac Newton Phelps Stokes, The Iconography of Manhattan Island, New York, 1915-1928, 6 vols. description ends ; N.Y. Dir.). TJ may have transferred to Brannon’s greenhouse the upland rice plants he was growing at his house, in the hope that they would ripen seed. Eager to introduce upland rice culture into the southern states, TJ had requested seed from several sources. The seed for TJ’s plants, which never matured, came from Timor through William Bligh of the Bounty (Benjamin Vaughan to TJ, 27 Mch. 1790; TJ to Vaughan, 27 June 1790, 11 May 1791).

60This was probably James Hallett, coachmaker at 43 Broadway (N.Y. Dir.; Gottesman, Arts and Crafts, p. 351-2 description begins Rita Susswein Gottesman, The Arts and Crafts of New York 1777-1799, New York, 1954 description ends ).

61These green Windsor chairs, bought from one of several Andersons active as cabinetmakers in New York in the 1790s, were destined for Monticello (TJ to James Brown, 8 Aug. 1790; Charles Montgomery, American Furniture [New York, 1966], p. 116).

62 John Fenno (d. 1798) established the semiweekly Gazette of the United States in New York in Apr. 1789, moving it to Philadelphia in Nov. 1790 (Brigham, History, i, 645, ii, 912-13 description begins Clarence S. Brigham, A History and Bibliography of American Newspapers, 1690-1820, Worcester, Mass., 1920, 2 vols. description ends ; Sowerby, No. 542 description begins E. Millicent Sowerby, comp., Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson, Washington, D.C., 1952-1959, 6 vols. description ends ). TJ called this Federalist organ “a paper of pure Toryism, disseminating the doctrines of monarchy, aristocracy, and the exclusion of the influence of the people” (TJ to TMR, 15 May 1791).

63TJ paid Thomas Burling, the well-known cabinetmaker at 36 Beekman Street, a total of £143–12 for furniture. Those pieces which can be identified, and which are now at Monticello and in the possession of a TJ descendant, are a revolving chair and its companion sofa and two vase-backed chairs (N.Y. Dir.; Bjerkoe, Cabinetmakers, p. 54 description begins Ethel Hall Bjerkoe, The Cabinetmakers of America, New York, 1957 description ends ; Charles L. Granquist, “Thomas Jefferson’s ‘Whirligig’ Chairs,” The Magazine Antiques [May 1976], p. 1057-60).

64 Thomas Stevenson was a blacksmith at 32 Maiden Lane (N.Y. Dir.).

65No other record of this excursion on Long Island has been found, but it is possible that TJ visited the Flushing nursery of William Prince (see MB 15 June 1791).

66 Matthew Lavoratorini was a servant in TJ’s household until Apr. 1791.

67 Samuel Griffin (1746-1810) of Williamsburg was a Virginia member of the House of Representatives from 1789 to 1795.

68 Robert Gosman was a carpenter at 6 Murray Street (N.Y. Dir.).

69No mention of this loan has been found in the records of the New York Society Library, organized in 1754 and deposited until 1795 in City Hall. It is possible TJ borrowed Isaac Newton’s Principia, for he reported being able to procure a copy while in the midst of preparing his “Report on Weights and Measures” (TJ to David Rittenhouse, 20 June 1790; Papers, xvi, 602-75 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ).

70 William Coxe (1762-1831), the pomologist, at this time in the mercantile business in Philadelphia, was a brother of Tench Coxe (1755-1824), assistant secretary of the treasury.

71These were arrears of salary as minister plenipotentiary in France (TJ to Alexander Hamilton, 9 July 1790; TJ to Willinks, Van Staphorsts & Hubbard, 4 Aug. 1790; Account with U.S. 1792).

72 Ignatius Schnydore (Snydore, Shnydore), fresco and sign painter at 28 John Street, painted several wall panels in TJ’s house; six were painted to look like marble, one was of a garlanded column, one of a vase of flowers, and one a small landscape. Two years later TJ considered employing Schnydore to paint the Monticello house in fresco (N.Y. Dir.; Gottesman, Arts and Crafts, p. 345 description begins Rita Susswein Gottesman, The Arts and Crafts of New York 1777-1799, New York, 1954 description ends ; TJ’s notes on fresco painting, DLC; TJ to Henry Remsen, 13 and 25 Nov. 1792; Remsen to TJ, 19 Nov. 1792).

73 Peter Oldershaw was a house carpenter at 6 Verletenberg Street (N.Y. Dir.).

74The “public purpose” was David Humphreys’ secret mission to Spain at a time when war between England and Spain seemed inevitable (Papers, xvii, 86-9, 125-7 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ).

75 John Brown (1757-1837) represented the Kentucky district of Virginia in Congress. TJ’s friend and political supporter, he was U.S. senator from Kentucky from 1792 to 1805.

76After the adjournment of Congress on 14 Aug., Washington embarked on a sea voyage to Rhode Island to recognize that state’s recent ratification of the Constitution. The president’s party included TJ, David Humphreys, Governor George Clinton of New York, William Loughton Smith of South Carolina, and Supreme Court Justice John Blair, among others. For accounts of this expedition, which consisted of four days in Long Island Sound and two days of festivities at Newport and Providence, see Dumbauld, Jefferson Tourist, p. 156-8 description begins Edward Dumbauld, Thomas Jefferson, American Tourist, Norman, Okla., 1946 description ends , Douglas Southall Freeman, George Washington (New York, 1949-57), vi, 274-6, and TJ to MJR, 22 Aug. 1790.

77 Thomas Allen was a bookseller, stationer, and bookbinder at 16 Queen Street (N.Y. Dir.; Gottesman, Arts and Crafts, p. 282, 374 description begins Rita Susswein Gottesman, The Arts and Crafts of New York 1777-1799, New York, 1954 description ends ).

78 Effingham Lawrence was a druggist and chemist at 227 Queen Street (N.Y. Dir.).

79TJ travelled with James Madison until their arrival at Montpelier on 18 Sep. (Madison, Papers, xiii, 299 description begins The Papers of James Madison, ed. William T. Hutchinson and others, vols. 1-10, Chicago, 1962-1977, vols. 11-, Charlottesville, Va., 1977- description ends ).

80One of the earliest American “Vauxhalls,” modeled on the public pleasure gardens of London, Gray’s Gardens were located on the west bank of the Schuylkill River at Gray’s (Lower) ferry. Refreshments were served in a setting of “alcoves, arbours, [and] shady walks,” which had been laid out by Samuel Vaughan, Sr., after 1783 (Wansey, Journal, p. 112 description begins Henry Wansey and His American Journal, ed. David John Jeremy, Philadelphia, 1970 description ends ; Sarah P. Stetson, “The Philadelphia Sojourn of Samuel Vaughan,” PMHB, lxxiii [1949], 467-9).

81 Duncan Campbell was a Philadelphia cordwainer at 3 Cypress Alley (Phila. Dir. 1791 description begins Philadelphia Directory, issued annually with varying imprints description ends ).

82TJ received 150 bottles Château d’Yquem, 125 bottles Rausan Margaux 1785 and 1786, 120 bottles white Dulamont Graves, and 60 bottles of Lambert’s Frontignan (TJ to Joseph Fenwick and to William Short, 6 Sep. 1790; Madame de Rausan to TJ, 30 Jan. 1791; Madame de Lur-Saluces to TJ, 25 Feb. 1791; Fenwick, Mason & Co. to TJ, 29 Mch. 1791).

83 Thomas Lee Shippen, who joined TJ and Madison at Rock Hall on the Maryland Eastern Shore for the Chesapeake Bay crossing to Annapolis, reported on their travels together as far as Georgetown in a letter to his father, printed in Papers, xvii, 464-6 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends . In Annapolis they evidently stayed at George Mann’s tavern and climbed to the top of the State House steeple.

84TJ’s excursion to the Little Falls of the Potomac River, four miles above Georgetown, was part of a day’s outing with local citizens to examine the environs of Georgetown, one of the possible sites of the new seat of government. After breakfast at the home of Notley Young, they viewed the area, dined at the home of Uriah Forrest, and then took a boat to the falls (Papers, xvii, 465 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ). For TJ’s connection with the development of the nation’s capital, see Papers, xx, 3-88 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends , Malone, Jefferson, ii, 371-87 description begins Dumas Malone, Jefferson and His Time, Boston, 1948-1981, 6 vols. description ends , and Saul K. Padover, ed., Thomas Jefferson and the National Capital (Washington, D.C., 1946).

85After TJ’s first recorded visit to Mount Vernon, he and Madison stopped about eight miles to the southwest at Gunston Hall. Conversation with both of their hosts, President Washington and George Mason, primarily concerned the site of the new national capital (TJ to Washington, 17 Sep. 1790; Papers, xvii, 452-71 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ).

86James Madison had lent TJ his servant and horses for the journey from Orange County to Monticello (TJ to Madison, 20 Sep. 1790).

87The Virginia Gazette, and General Advertiser for the two previous years (see “Contingent Expenses of the Department of State,” Papers, xvii, 363).

88TJ used this horse, also named Brimmer, as a carriage horse and sold him in Feb. 1793 (Betts, Farm Book, p. 97-8 description begins Thomas Jefferson’s Farm Book, ed. Edwin M. Betts, Princeton, N.J., 1953 description ends ).

89TJ was at Tuckahoe to try to persuade Thomas Mann Randolph, Sr., to sell his Albemarle County property Edgehill to his son, and TJ’s son-in-law, TMR. The contract was not settled until 1792 (TJ to Francis Eppes, 8 Oct. 1790; Gaines, Randolph, p. 31-4 description begins William H. Gaines, Jr., Thomas Mann Randolph, Jefferson’s Son-in-Law, Baton Rouge, La., 1966 description ends ).

90This agreement for the sale of TJ’s Willis Creek lands in Cumberland County, executed at Ellis’ ordinary in Goochland County, is reproduced in Papers, xvii, 569-71 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends , where it is erroneously titled “Agreement of Sale for Elk Hill.” These 1,076 acres, inherited from the Wayles estate and located on Willis Creek and the James River opposite Elk Island, were sold to William Ronald of Powhatan County for £1,076 sterling (Cumberland County Deed Book, vii, 79 and 81, Cumberland County Courthouse, Cumberland, Va.). Ronald’s bonds for payment and his mortgages for the Willis Creek property and some of his own lands in Goochland County, the title to which TJ had been searching that day in the courthouse, were transferred to Richard Hanson in partial satisfaction of TJ’s debt to Farell & Jones (TJ to Hanson, 5 Apr. 1791, 18 Oct. 1793). The claim of Carter Henry Harrison to a small parcel of the Willis Creek lands and Ronald’s death intestate in 1793 involved TJ in some troublesome legal proceedings which were not settled for thirty years (TMR to TJ, 7 Feb. 1793; MB 18 Sep. 1801, 28 Mch. 1822).

91TJ had offered his young relation, John Garland Jefferson (d. 1815), advice in his legal studies and use of the Monticello library, and he later gave him financial assistance (TJ to Jefferson, 11 June 1790, 4 Nov. 1792). Jefferson, the son of TJ’s first cousin George Jefferson and Elizabeth Garland Jefferson, became a lawyer and lived in Amelia County, Va.

92Correctly “Dec.” This balance arose from the resettlement of the account with Edward Charlton paid on 20 May 1777 (Edmund Randolph to TJ, [13 Aug. 1790]).

93 Edward and Isaac Pennington were Philadelphia sugar refiners at 155 Sassafras Street (Phila. Dir. 1791 description begins Philadelphia Directory, issued annually with varying imprints description ends ; Philadelphia General Advertiser, 14 Dec. 1790).

94This “monstrous bill of freight” was only a fraction of the cost to TJ of bringing his books and household goods back from France. He also paid more than $1,700 for their packing and freight within Europe (TJ to James Madison, 10 Jan. 1791; William Short account with TJ, 1 Nov. 1789-22 Sep. 1790, DLC). The contents of the eighty packing cases which came to Philadelphia and the six sent to Virginia are itemized in full in Packing List 1790, which is partially translated in Papers, xviii, 35-7 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends . Because of the unfinished state of his rented house, half of TJ’s belongings were still unpacked by the end of Jan. 1791 (TJ to Short, 24 Jan. 1791; Papers, xviii, 33-9 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ). John Ross (1729-1800) was a prominent Philadelphia merchant and shipowner (Madison, Papers, v, 204-5 description begins The Papers of James Madison, ed. William T. Hutchinson and others, vols. 1-10, Chicago, 1962-1977, vols. 11-, Charlottesville, Va., 1977- description ends ).

95The first ball of the winter season was held on 9 Dec. at James Oeller’s new hotel on Chestnut Street between Sixth and Seventh streets. Although TJ was a regular subscriber to the famous Philadelphia Dancing Assemblies, it is unlikely that he ever attended one of their functions (Philadelphia General Advertiser, 7 Dec. 1790; Jackson, Encyclopedia of Philadelphia, i, 173-9 description begins Joseph Jackson, Encyclopedia of Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pa., 1930-1933, 4 vols. description ends ; Wansey, Journal, p. 104 description begins Henry Wansey and His American Journal, ed. David John Jeremy, Philadelphia, 1970 description ends ).

96When TJ and James Madison arrived in Philadelphia on 20 Nov. they returned to Mary House’s boardinghouse. This was the first step in TJ’s gradual entry into a large four-story brick house nearing completion at 274 Market Street, on its south side near Eighth Street. The offices of the Department of State were across the street on the corner of Market and Eighth streets. TJ rented the house from the merchant Thomas Leiper until Mch. 1793 for £250 per year, a figure which reflects the usual additions and alterations to the original plan which TJ required. To Leiper’s house TJ added a book gallery, a stable, and a garden house (Malone, Jefferson, ii, 321-3 description begins Dumas Malone, Jefferson and His Time, Boston, 1948-1981, 6 vols. description ends ; Dumbauld, Jefferson Tourist, p. 163-6 description begins Edward Dumbauld, Thomas Jefferson, American Tourist, Norman, Okla., 1946 description ends ; Kimball, TJ Architect, p. 151-3 description begins Fiske Kimball, Thomas Jefferson, Architect, 1916, repr. New York, 1968 description ends ).

97The boxes contained books and a spinet from Monticello (James Brown to TJ, 25 Nov. 1790; Cripe, Jefferson and Music, p. 48-9 description begins Helen C. Cripe, Thomas Jefferson and Music, Charlottesville, Va., 1974 description ends ).

98The box contained a Wedgwood lamp in the shape of an Etruscan candelabra, a gift from John Rutledge, Jr., in Charleston, S.C. The Wedgwood base was fitted with James Keir’s “patent hydrostatical lamp,” a mechanism in which a column of heavy liquid forced the lighter oil up to the wick, thus allowing the oil reservoir to be placed at the base of the lamp, out of the way of the illumination (Rutledge to TJ, 20 Nov. 1790; TJ to Rutledge, 20 Feb. 1791; MS description of Keir’s lamp, Benjamin Franklin Papers, PPAP).

99 Jacob Stine was a grain dealer located in 1793 at 176 Market Street (Phila. Dir. 1793 description begins Philadelphia Directory, issued annually with varying imprints description ends ).

1The English musician Alexander Reinagle (1756-1809) was, with John Christopher Moller, director of the Philadelphia City Concert series for 1790-91. After a number of postponements, the first concert was held on 22 Jan. 1791 “at the New Rooms” (Oeller’s Hotel) in Chestnut Street, between Sixth and Seventh streets. This concert, typical of those that followed every other Saturday, included a Haydn symphony, a Pleyel quartet, a piano and violoncello duet by Nicolas Dalayrac, and songs by Reinagle and William Boyce. Admission for non-subscribers was 7s–6d (Philadelphia General Advertiser, 4, 11, 19 Jan. 1791; Jackson, Encyclopedia of Philadelphia, iii, 920-1 description begins Joseph Jackson, Encyclopedia of Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pa., 1930-1933, 4 vols. description ends ; Cripe, Jefferson and Music, p. 22-3 description begins Helen C. Cripe, Thomas Jefferson and Music, Charlottesville, Va., 1974 description ends ).

2This weather record, covering the period 1 Jan. 1784 to 28 Feb. 1790, is more complex than that at the end of MB 1776. In a letter to TMR, 18 Apr. 1790, TJ explained his recordkeeping methods in this period: “My method is to make two observations a day, the one as early as possible in the morning, the other from 3. to 4. aclock, because I have found 4. aclock the hottest and day light the coldest point of the 24. hours. I state them in an ivory pocket book in the following form, and copy them out once a week. The 1st. column is the day of the month. The 2d. the thermometer in the morning. The 4th do. in the evening. The 3d. the weather in the morning. The 5th do. in the afternoon. The 6th is for miscellanies, such as the appearance of birds, leafing and flowering of trees, frosts remarkeably late or early, Aurora borealis, &c. In the 3d. and 5th. columns, a. is after: c, cloudy: f, fair: h, hail: r, rain: s, snow. Thus c a r h s means, cloudy after rain, hail and snow. Whenever it has rained, hailed or snowed between two observations I note it thus, f a r (i.e. fair after rain) c a s (cloudy after snow &c.) otherwise the falling weather would escape notation. I distinguish weather into fair or cloudy, according as the sky is more or less than half covered with clouds.” Beginning with 1 June and 1 Sep. 1788 TJ introduced readings from the Deluc and Saussure hygrometers (see MB 1 Sep. 1788).
