MS (DLC: TJ Papers, 233:41784); in Clay’s hand; undated; endorsed by TJ: “Thermometrical Diary. mr Clay 1811. Jan 1. to Feb 26.”
Clay probably made these observations at his home, Ivy Hill, and sent them to TJ as he neared the end of his 30 Jan.–28 Feb. 1811 visit to nearby Poplar Forest (
, 2:1263).1. Here and throughout, the “S” stands for “Sunday.”
