MS (MHi); entirely in TJ’s hand; on same sheet as lists of inoculations of 7 Aug.–17 Sept. 1801 (, 35:34–5), 10–26 May 1802 (, 37:442–3), and 17 Mar. 1826.
This list continues TJ’s documentation of the vaccinations for smallpox he began in 1801 as a result of his correspondence and collaboration with Benjamin Waterhouse (, 32:264–5, 35:34–5, 277–8, 572–3, 37:442–3). Except for the final name, the slaves on this list were all at Monticello and Tufton.
