Immediate Source of Acquisition
The Thomas Jefferson collection was assembled by the Huntington Library, with the bulk of
the material acquired through two sales from bookdealer George D. Smith of New York in 1916
and 1918. Material purchased in the 1916 sale had been held by Thomas Jefferson's
great-great-granddaughter Cornelia Jefferson Taylor and the 1918 material was acquired by
Smith from collector William K. Bixby. In addition, some items in this collection were
purchased by the Huntington Library through auctions and sales by Anderson Galleries, the
American Art Association, Maggs Bros., B.A. Brown, G.H. Hart and others, and several items
were donated by individuals. This summary is based on information from Huntington Library
legacy information files and summary reports, the Henry E. Huntington papers, manuscript
catalog cards, and legacy manuscript housing folders. Source of acquisition is noted in item
descriptions, when known.
Custodial History
Material purchased from William K. Bixby via dealer George D. Smith had been acquired by
Bixby from George P. Coleman of Richmond, Virginia.
The Thomas Jefferson collection also consists of a number of items transferred from other
archival collections held at the Huntington Library; item call numbers reflect these
removals and refer to the following collections: the R.A. Brock collection and papers (BR),
the Rufus King papers (RK), the William Jones Rhees papers (RH), the William Eaton papers
(EA), and the John Lorimer Graham papers (GM).
Biographical / Historical
Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743-July 4, 1826), the third president of the United States,
was born at Shadwell, Virginia, the son of farmer, surveyor, and enslaver Peter Jefferson
(1707/08-1757) and Jane Randolph Jefferson (1720-1776). Jefferson attended the College of
William & Mary in Williamsburg from 1760 to 1762; he studied law following his
graduation and was admitted to the bar in 1767. From 1769 to 1775, he served in the Virginia
House of Burgesses. In June 1775, Jefferson became a delegate to the Second Continental
Congress, where he was tasked with drafting a declaration of independence from Great Britain
in June 1776. He was governor of Virginia during the Revolutionary War, from 1779 to 1781,
and in 1783 was elected to Congress as a delegate from Virginia. From 1784 to 1789,
Jefferson lived in France, first as a member of the commission appointed to negotiate
commerce treaties with European countries, then as U.S. minister to France, returning to the
U.S. as the French Revolution was underway. While in France, he published Notes on the State
of Virginia (1785). In 1790, he was appointed secretary of state in the George Washington
administration, serving until 1793. Jefferson was vice president of the U.S. from 1797 to
1801 in the John Adams administration.
Jefferson was elected president of the United States as a Democratic-Republican in a close
and contentious 1800 race which was not settled until February 1801; he served two terms
from 1801 to 1809. The purchase of the Louisiana territory from France in 1803 was the major
event of his first term in office; others include the First Barbary War and the ratification
of the 12th amendment to the Constitution in June 1804. Events of Jefferson's second term
include the Aaron Burr conspiracy and his 1807 treason trial, the 1807 Act Prohibiting
Importation of Slaves which ended the Atlantic slave trade, and the Embargo Act of 1807 and
subsequent trade embargo on foreign countries from 1807 to 1809.
Following his presidency, Jefferson returned to Virginia for an active retirement. He was
president of the American Philosophical Society for eighteen years. In 1815, he sold his
voluminous library to Congress, helping to create the Library of Congress. Jefferson founded
the University of Virginia in Charlottesville in 1819, designing the school's buildings and
creating its curriculum; the university opened in 1825.
Jefferson married Martha Wayles Skelton (1748-1782) in 1772; the couple had six children,
two of whom lived to adulthood: Martha ("Patsy") Jefferson Randolph (1772-1836) and Mary
("Maria," "Polly") Jefferson Eppes (1778-1804). Martha married Thomas Mann Randolph Jr.
(1768-1828) in 1790, and Mary married John Wayles Eppes (about 1773-1823) in 1797. Jefferson
had a decades-long relationship with Sally Hemings (1773-1835), an enslaved woman in his
household; Hemings had at least six children by him, four of whom lived to adulthood:
Beverly Hemings (1798-?), Harriet Hemings (1801-?), Madison Hemings (1805-1877), and Eston
Hemings Jefferson (1808-1856).
Jefferson inherited his father's property in Albemarle County, Virginia at age 21,
including the Shadwell plantation. He began construction of his home Monticello, designed by
himself, in 1769; building and renovations continued to 1808. The Monticello estate included
tobacco and wheat crops; vegetable and flower gardens; livestock; workshops for textiles,
woodworking, nail making, and blacksmithing; and mills. The property was divided into
separate farms named Monticello, Tufton, Shadwell, and Lego. In addition, Jefferson
inherited properties in Virginia from his father-in-law John Wayles around 1774, including
the plantations Elk Hill (or Elkhill) in Goochland County and Poplar Forest in Bedford
County, which became his retreat during his retirement.
Jefferson enslaved over 600 persons, primarily at his Monticello and Poplar Forest
plantations. Enslaved laborers worked in the fields and gardens and undertook much of the
skilled labor in the various workshops and mills on the property, including in the building
trades, and constructed portions of Monticello and Poplar Forest. Enslaved persons also
performed numerous domestic labor tasks in Jefferson's household, including the influential
chef, James Hemings.
Thomas Jefferson died at home at Monticello at age 83.
Scope and Contents
The Thomas Jefferson collection contains correspondence and documents; architectural
drawings, plans, and surveys; accounts; and notebooks dating from 1764 to 1826. The bulk of
the collection is correspondence and includes letters to Jefferson as well as letters from
him, which are mostly letterpress and polygraph copies of outgoing letters created by him.
Correspondence pertains to Jefferson's political career as governor of Virginia, minister to
France, secretary of state, vice president, and president; most letters from his
post-presidency concern the founding of the University of Virginia. Also present are
numerous letters to various family members, especially daughters Martha Jefferson Randolph
and Mary Jefferson Eppes and their husbands Thomas Mann Randolph Jr. and John Wayles Eppes,
which discuss family activities, education, travel plans, and health. Many items in this
collection relate to Jefferson's properties and estates, especially Monticello and Poplar
Forest; letters, documents, and account books concern horticulture, crops and tobacco, and
seeds, as well as household expenses, finances, and goods. Several items pertain to or
mention slavery and enslaved persons as well as Native Americans—see Scope and Contents
notes for more information.
The architectural drawings, plans, and surveys in the collection primarily depict land and
properties in Virginia, with many representing Monticello and the surrounding area.
Architectural drawings also include those created by Jefferson for the College of William
& Mary in Williamsburg, the Virginia capitol and the city of Richmond, and the Hôtel de
Langeac in Paris. Volumes in the collection include account books, a memoranda book, legal
case and fee books, and a daybook of market accounts kept by Jefferson's maître d'hôtel
Étienne Lemaire during his second presidential term. Also present are parts for Jefferson's
polygraph machine.
Processing Information
The Thomas Jefferson collection was reprocessed in 2021-2022 by Melissa Haley as part of
the American Presidential Papers Project. The items had been physically assembled and
arranged by former Huntington Library staff; material was rehoused during reprocessing.
Previously assigned item-level call numbers have been retained.
The number of pages for each item is noted in parentheses in item-level Scope and Contents
notes; page totals include enclosures if present. Document measurements are included at the
item level for drawings, surveys, and oversize items.
Previously assigned legacy terminology regarding autograph, endorsement, and franking
status of items was retained. Items marked
autograph indicate
the item is in the handwriting of the author of the letter or document.
Endorsement usually refers to a signature of the addressee or
individual authorized to read and respond to a letter and indicates that they have done so.
In Jefferson's case, he endorsed letters received with the sender's name, date of letter,
and date received; he also endorsed copies of his outgoing letters with name of recipient
and date sent.
Franking indicates the presence of an authorized
signature for mailing purposes.

Language of Material: Letters are primarily in
English; several items are in French, Spanish, and Italian. Founders Online provides
translations of most foreign language items.
Scope and Contents
This series contains correspondence and documents dating from 1773 to 1826 and
pertaining to various aspects of Thomas Jefferson's political career, family life, and
interests. Correspondence includes letters to Jefferson as well as letters from him,
which are mostly letterpress and polygraph copies of outgoing letters created by him;
some of Jefferson's letters are written in the third person. Also present are financial
records such as accounts, estimates, bills, and receipts; and some writings, notes,
ships' papers, and a trigonometry exercise.
Letters written during Jefferson's tenure as governor of Virginia concern state
government and military matters. Correspondence from the periods Jefferson served as
U.S. minister to France, secretary of state, and vice president of the U.S. primarily
relate to foreign relations; letters written by Jefferson while minister to France also
concern instructions to consuls, activities in Europe, and his family, including
daughter Mary's journey to France.
Correspondence from Jefferson's presidency pertain to political parties, activities in
Congress, foreign relations and a trade embargo, naval operations, issues of nationalism
and sectionalism, the Burr conspiracy, and requests for appointments, pardons, and
assistance. Many letters to him are from senders of gifts, publications and writings,
and information on products and inventions.
Much of Jefferson's post-presidency correspondence concerns the founding of the
University of Virginia in Charlottesville with many letters from the school's first
proctor Arthur S. Brockenbrough and librarian John V. Kean, among others.
This series contains numerous letters from Jefferson to various family members,
especially daughters Martha ("Patsy") Jefferson Randolph and Mary ("Maria," "Polly")
Jefferson Eppes and their husbands Thomas Mann Randolph Jr. and John Wayles Eppes; some
later letters are to grandchildren Francis Wayles Eppes and Anne Cary Randolph. Letters
concern family activities, education, travel plans, and health.
Many letters and documents in this series pertain to Jefferson's properties and
estates, especially Monticello and Poplar Forest, and concern horticulture, crops and
tobacco, and seeds, as well as household accounts, finances, and goods. Items also
concern his father Peter Jefferson's estate and Virginia properties given to his
daughters and their families, including Pantops. Many letters about operations at
Monticello were written to the property's overseer Edmund Bacon during Jefferson's
presidency while in Washington, D.C.
Several Jefferson letters discuss slavery and enslaved persons, who are usually not
referred to by name. These include letters to Francis Eppes (1787 July 30), Mary
Jefferson Eppes (1798 December 8), Thomas Mann Randolph Jr. (1798 June 14 and 1802
November 25), William A. Burwell (1805 January 28), and Edmund Bacon (1807 December 8).
His letter to daughter Mary mentions Lucy, an enslaved woman who had recently given
birth. In his letter to William A. Burwell, Jefferson states "I have long since given up
the expectation of any early provision for the extinguishment of slavery among us."
A number of items in this series relate to Native Americans including Jefferson's
memoranda on Virginia history (approximately 1781), which contains a list of local
nations with additional statistics and information on locations and alliances; several
items regarding missionary efforts in the Ohio Valley (1804 October); a letter from
Jefferson to Dog Soldier, who he identifies as the second chief of the Little Osage
(1804 July 16); and a letter to Jefferson from John Wood (1805 November 26) proposing
funding the education of an unnamed member of the Sac Nation.
Letterpress and polygraph copies of Jefferson's outgoing letters are of autograph
letters signed unless noted otherwise. Most letterpress copies have been encapsulated.
Processing Information
At the time of processing, there was a publication gap between 1805 March 9 (Volume 45
of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson) and 1809 March 4 (Volume 1 of The Papers of Thomas
Jefferson: Retirement Series) and after 1821 November 30 (Volume 17 of The Papers of
Thomas Jefferson: Retirement Series). Items in these gaps, as well as items in Volume 45
of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, are transcribed in Founders Online but had not been
annotated yet. Jefferson's outgoing letters between 1805 March 9 and 1809 March 4 that
are identified as polygraph copies in the container list have not yet been verified as
such by Papers of Thomas Jefferson editors.
Existence and Location of Copies
A recipient's copy, letterpress copy, or transcript of many letters in this series
exists at other repositories; see item-level notes for details.
Arrangement
Arranged chronologically. Letterpress copies of outgoing correspondence are housed
separately in boxes 28-33.

1767-1822
Physical Description: 3.59 Linear
Feet(2 boxes)
Scope and Contents
This series contains architectural drawings, plans, surveys, and notes; autograph
manuscripts are in Jefferson's hand unless noted otherwise. Architectural drawings and
plans are for Jefferson's properties including Monticello and Elk Hill, the College of
William & Mary in Williamsburg, the Virginia capitol and the city of Richmond, and
the Hôtel de Langeac in Paris. Surveys are of lands in Virginia, primarily in Albemarle
County and the Monticello area. Also present are Jefferson's working drawings of a
polygraph machine and other devices. In addition, this series has some related notes,
estimates and calculations, including architectural memoranda on the President's House
(White House) in Washington, D.C.
Processing Information
The bulk of material in this series is undated. The dates provided for most undated
drawings and surveys were taken from notes created in the late 1940s by Fiske Kimball, a
scholar of Jefferson's architectural projects and author of Thomas Jefferson, Architect
(1916), who analyzed the items in detail. These dates are replicated in the annotated
inventory published in Frederick Doveton Nichols' Thomas Jefferson's Architectural
Drawings (1960-1984). See manuscript catalog cards for dates originally assigned to
undated items by Huntington Library staff. Kimball's identification notes are also
included for some drawings.
