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
