481From Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Bartlett, 16 March 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
Your fav r of the 4 th inst. has been rec d I am too much enfeebled by age to write letters, and am obliged therefore to withdraw from that labor.

482From Thomas Jefferson to Arthur S. Brockenbrough, 16 March 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
M r Ownes, who was with me at the University yesterday, a person who has been at the head of great works, and well skilled, informed me of the method of making roads in England, lately adopted, on the plan of M c Adams, much superior to the former roads, and much cheaper . I had for some time heard and read a great deal about them. no foundation is to be dug, the road is only smoothed, and...

I have for some years been furnished with the Edinbg reviews to which I am a subscriber, by the agent in Fredsbg. but with that plan I have no connection, and they let me fall into arrears which I do not like. understdg that you are the agent in Richm d I should prefer recieving them thro you, because you will need only once a year or twice if you please to present my acc t to Col o B.

Your favor of Feb. 24, is rec d and I have this day desired Col o Peyton of Richm d to remit you 15. 25 I rec d some time ago a letter from mr Withers on the subject of the Reviews, but it will suit me much better to take them from the agent of Richmond instead of Fredsbg because he can annually call on my correspdt there for payment so as that I may never be in arrears. understand g that mr...
485From Thomas Jefferson to Frederick Winslow Hatch, 16 March 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
It is with regret that Th:Jefferson has been so tardy this year in placing in mr Hatch’s hands the sum for which he annexes an order. he wishes his grandsons Benjamin and Lewis to drop their Greek for the present, and after their Latin lesson, to give an hour daily to Arithmetic, and the rest of the day to French. about midsummer he would wish to enter Benjamin in the University and then Lewis...

A mr Maveric of N.Y. who furnishes engravings of our University sent a box of them some time ago to your address for mr Brockenbrough. I hope they are arrived safely.

488From Thomas Jefferson to Littleton Waller Tazewell, 13 March 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I was very thankful to you for your lre of the 1 st inst. the information it conveyed was very anxiously looked for. without that fund our situation was disadvantageous in the extreme and indeed very mortifying: with that, I think we can, in the course of the year, provide our institution with all it’s necessary appendages & apparatus as respectably and competently as is any one in the Union....
