D. Mariano to Thomas Jefferson, 22 November 1819

From D. Mariano

Lexington Ky 9er 22d 1819

Sir,

Allow me the honour of presenting to you the first number of a literary journal, which I have undertaken with Mr Everett Professor of Greek in this University. Though I do not belong to the American family, I am very far from being a Stranger in respect to the high veneration with which every heart is here impressed for you. This is, as well the motive, as the apology for my present intrusion.

I am, Sir, most respectfully,
your devoted and obt Servant

D. Mariano

RC (DLC); endorsed by TJ as received 17 Dec. 1819 and so recorded in SJL. Enclosure: Journal of Belles Lettres, vol. 1, no. 1 (20 Nov. 1819).
