48 Isaac A. Coles brought TJ’s attention to this wine, which was imported by New York merchant Philetus Havens from Peter Walsh in Sète, France. The St. George wine, a red vin ordinaire from Provence, was “much approved” by TJ’s guests and he made later attempts to obtain it (Havens to Isaac A. Coles, 18 July 1808; TJ to Walsh, 27 Mch. 1811; TJ wine list, MB end 1803).

49Correctly 87¢.

50TJ paid $281.00 for an Aug. 1807 shipment of nailrod and $172.75 for sheet iron for roofing the Monticello offices (TJ to Jones & Howell, 6 Jan. 1808; TJ to James Dinsmore, 8 Dec. 1807).

51TJ had ordered from Samuel F. Bradford, Philadelphia bookseller at 4 South Third Street, John Sharpe’s miniature (32mo) edition of the works of William Shakespeare in nine volumes, “the size being the circumstance which recommends it” (TJ to Bradford, 13 Dec. 1807; Bradford to TJ, 18 Dec. 1807).

52This was a gold watch bought by TJ as a gift for a granddaughter, probably Anne Cary Randolph, who was about to turn seventeen (TJ to Henry Voigt, 3 Dec. 1807; Voigt to TJ, 19 Dec. 1807; Chaudron & Co. invoice, 18 Dec. 1807, MHi).

53 Joseph Milligan had taken over the Georgetown bindery and bookstore of Mrs. John March (Washington National Intelligencer, 22 Apr. 1808). Milligan’s itemized invoice for binding and book purchases from 7 Nov. 1807 to 8 Mch. 1809, as well as subsequent invoices, is in DLC.

54This was actually for one thousand pounds of pig lead for the sash weights of the Monticello windows (TJ to Jones & Howell, 1 Nov. 1807; TJ to James Dinsmore, 1 Nov. 1807; Jones & Howell to TJ, 7 Nov. 1807).

55TJ had asked James Oldham in Richmond to purchase mahogany for four Pembroke table tops to be made at Monticello (TJ to Oldham, 12 Oct. 1807; Oldham to TJ, 24 Dec. 1807).

56At his own expense TJ had had explorer William Clark (1770-1838) dig up and send to him a large number of fossil bones from Big Bone Lick in Kentucky. Keeping a few items for himself, TJ divided the rest of the collection between the American Philosophical Society and the National Institute of France. For an excellent account of the disposition of the fossils, see Howard C. Rice, Jr., “Jefferson’s Gift of Fossils to the Museum of Natural History in Paris,” Procs. Amer. Phil. Soc., xcv (1951), 597-627.

57The Useful Cabinet was a shortlived monthly publication of the Newengland Association of Inventors and Patrons of Useful Arts, of which Benjamin Dearborn was president. It contained short articles on physics and mathematical questions, patents, and tools (Sowerby, No. 1105 description begins E. Millicent Sowerby, comp., Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson, Washington, D.C., 1952-1959, 6 vols. description ends ; Benjamin M. Lewis, “A History and Bibliography of American Magazines, 1800-1810,” Ph.D. diss., University of Michigan, 1956, p. 285).

58The Republican Crisis was a semiweekly newspaper published in Albany, N.Y. (Brigham, History, i, 543-4; Isaac Mitchell receipted invoice, 22 Dec. 1807, MHi).

59Although he continually planted the seeds of the cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani) at Monticello, TJ was apparently never successful in growing this tree, which he numbered among the “exotics of distinguished usefulness” (TJ to John P. Emmet, 27 Apr. 1826).

60In February William Keough had been “attacked and severely wounded” by one of TJ’s rams in President’s Square. In the same month a second incident, presumably involving the same aggressive beast, resulted in the death of a young son of Alexander Kerr (Keough to TJ, 15 Feb. 1809; TJ to Kerr, 7 Feb. 1808; Kerr to TJ, 7 Feb. 1808; Anna Maria Thornton diary, 24 Feb. 1808, DLC).

61A transcription error for 33.

62Correctly $.815 (see MB 27 Oct. 1807, note 33).

63Silk and morocco suspenders (Elisha Riggs receipted invoice, 26 Feb. 1808, MHi).

64TJ paid for another shipment of sheet iron for roofing the offices at Monticello (Jones & Howell to TJ, 1 Dec. 1807; TJ to James Dinsmore, 8 Dec. 1807).

65 JWE had arranged the purchase from Joseph Eggleston (1754-1811) of Amelia County of a five foot, six-year-old bay carriage horse, a Diomede, which took the place of the aging Castor (JWE to TJ, 24 Sep. 1807; Eggleston to TJ, 4 Dec. 1807; TJ to JWE, 4 June 1808).

66These instruments, ordered from William Jones in London in 1806, consisted of a pair of hair compasses, a twelve-inch concave mirror, a set of ivory parallel scales, a three-inch pocket box sextant with a platina limb, and a ten-inch reflecting circle, complete with brass stand, telescope, reflecting eyepiece, vernier scale, and a mercury artificial horizon. TJ had requested an astronomical quadrant, but Jones substituted the reflecting circle, which he described as “a general or complete small portable Observatory.” This instrument, which TJ used for the astronomical observations of his years of retirement, is described in his list of “Mathematical Apparatus” (MS Library Catalogue, MHi) as “a Hadley’s circle of Borda by Jones 10 I. £26–16–6” (TJ to Jones, 25 Oct. 1806; Jones to TJ, 17 Oct. 1807).

67Although the correct total is $420, TJ sent George Jefferson $425 (TJ to Jefferson, 7 Mch. 1808).

68TJ paid for six of Peregrine Williamson’s “three Slit metalic pens” and four sets of the pen combined with a pencil in a case with a calendar, to use as gifts for friends. TJ immediately adopted these steel pen points, which cost six dollars the dozen, for all his writing, including the polygraph, but found that they wore out quickly (Williamson to TJ, 23, 30 Jan., 7 Mch. 1808; TJ to Williamson, 24 Feb., 22 Mch., 21 June 1808; A List of Patents Granted by the United States [Washington, 1872], p. 77).

69The French groceries, itemized in TJ to Stephen Cathalan, 29 June 1807, cost $44.48. The rest of the payment was for one hundred bottles of red “Vin de Nice,” presumably Bellet, which TJ remembered from his 1787 visit to Nice and later called “the most elegant every day wine in the world” (Cathalan to TJ, 14 Oct., 24 Dec. 1807; TJ to James Monroe, 8 Apr. 1817).

70A transcription error for $26.08.

71 John Shee, collector of the port of Philadelphia, had paid freight and duties on a dozen bottles of wine from Philip Mazzei, the French groceries and wine paid for in March, and three kegs of Nebbiolo wine paid for in Jan. 1809 (MB 24 Mch. 1808, 9 Jan. 1809; Shee to TJ, 10 Nov., 17, 23 Dec. 1807, 9 Feb. 1808; TJ to Shee, 22 Oct., 20 Dec. 1807; Fred Wollaston to TJ, 9 Dec. 1807; Peter Kuhn to TJ, 8 June 1807).

72Correctly $64.87.

73Correctly $90.45.

74This payment was actually for freight charges from New Orleans on the fossil bones from Big Bone Lick (MB 9 Feb. 1808; James H. McCulloch to TJ, 7 May 1808; Henry Thompson receipted invoice, 15 Feb. 1808, DLC).

75 P. A. Guestier, general merchant in Baltimore, had imported the seeds, which consisted of a pound of rape seed, fifty pounds of sulla seed (Hedysarum coronarium), and an unknown amount of quarantine corn, an Italian maize which TJ prized for its early ripening (Guestier to TJ, 14 Mch. 1808; TJ to Guestier, 20 Mch. 1808).

76On the first debt see MB 6 Sep. 1773, cash accounts. The second debt was an unsettled account between TJ and the Donalds’ store in southern Albemarle County which had been run by Peter Davie (TJ to John Murchie, 30 Oct. 1806, 22 May 1807, 5 May 1808).

77 George W. Riggs mended TJ’s gold seal (Riggs receipted invoice, 6 Apr. 1808, MHi).

78TMR.

79TJ’s friend, the prominent Baltimore merchant John Hollins, had supplied two dozen bottles of Montepulciano wine and coffee from the island of Bourbon, now Réunion, in the Indian Ocean (TJ to Hollins, 14, 19 June 1808; Hollins to TJ, 16, 21 June 1808).

80 Dolley Madison had exchanged a pearl clasp for a gold chain for TJ’s granddaughter Anne Cary Randolph (MJR to TJ, 23 June 1808).

81These draperies for the four windows of the Monticello parlour were made of crimson mantua silk, with green linings and yellow fringe. John Rea was a Philadelphia upholsterer on South Fourth Street (TJ to Rea, 2 Mch. 1808; Rea to TJ, 25 Apr. 1808, both with drawings of the curtains; Rea invoice, 25 Apr. 1808, DLC).
