Arthur S. Brockenbrough to Thomas Jefferson, 22 June 1820
From Arthur S. Brockenbrough
June 22rd 1820
Dear Sir,
I must ask the favor of you to permit us to advance the Eastern range of Hotels & Dormitories about 17 feet—in order to save much labor in diging & removing earth, we shall still have the same front, & the earth from the back of the dormitories & Hotels will be sufficient to widen the street to its proper width & the assent to the back of the pavilions will also be a little more moderate, the distance then from the front of the Eastern range of Pavilions to the front of the Hotels & dormitories will only be 300 feet
I am Sir respectfully your obt sevt
A. S. Brockenbrough
RC (CSmH: JF-BA); addressed: “Thomas Jefferson Esqr Monticello.”
