    Printed Broadside of Jefferson's Last Letter, 15 Days Before Death, on DOI

    Est: $800 - $1,000

    Thomas Jefferson n.p., ca. 1826 Printed Broadside of Jefferson's Last Letter, 15 Days Before Death, on DOI Printed document A printed broadside bearing the text of the last letter written by President Thomas Jefferson before his death in 1826. 1p, measuring 7" x 11". The date of this printing is unknown, but it is likely contemporary to Jefferson's passing. The original letter was written from Monticello on June 24, 1826 to Roger Weightman, late Mayor of Washington, D.C. In the letter, Jefferson declines an invitation to join a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence but expresses his hopes for the legacy of the document. At the top margin is an illustration depicting Lady Liberty displaying the art of printing to figures representing the other four continents. Slightly uneven edges with faint foxing. Some minor creasing in places. Overall very good. In part: "...The kind invitation I receive from you...as one of the surviving signers of an instrument pregnant to our own is most flattering to myself...It adds sensibly to the sufferings of sickness, to be deprived by it of a personal participation in the rejoicings of that day. But acquiescence is a duty, under circumstances not placed among those we are permitted to control. I should indeed with peculiar delight have met and exchanged there [sic] congratulations personally with the small band, the remnant of that host of worthies, who joined with us on that day in the bold and doubtful election we were able to make for our country, between submission or the sword...May it be to the world what I believe it will be...May it be to signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessing of security and self-government. That form which we have substituted restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion...For ourselves, let the annual return of this day, forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminishable devotion to them…" This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.

    Est: $2,000 - $3,000

    Thomas Jefferson Autograph Note Signed Ordering Supplies for Monticello.  One page, 3.625" x 1.625", no place; April 4, 1822. A manuscript note from Thomas Jefferson ordering ten pounds of coffee and 1000 nails " wrought of preference" from Charlottesville merchant [James] Leitch. It is signed by Jefferson, " Th:J." Similar notes from this period held by the University of Virginia indicate that these types of orders were often carried by Burwell Colbert, an enslaved domestic servant at Monticello who acted as Jefferson's butler and personal valet. While we cannot state with certainty that this order was also carried by Colbert, it is highly probably that he did so as he was the principal runner for Jefferson during his retirement years. Colbert was one of only five people freed in Jefferson's will, in which he was also granted funds to purchase tools needed to support his trade. From the Joel Levin Collection. Condition: .75" closed tear at upper margin, crossing one letter of text. Light blossoming of ink, causing a halo effect. Unevenly toned with scattered soiling. Heavy wear at edges. HID01801242017

    Est: $16,000 - $24,000

    Thomas Jefferson Autograph Letter Signed on the Construction of the University of Virginia.  One page, 7" x 8.25" (sight), " Monticello in Virginia"; May 20, 1824. Letter addressed to Samuel Williams in London, who was acting as an intermediary to Thomas Appleton, concerning commissions for the construction of the University of Virginia. A grateful Jefferson asks Williams to transmit an enclosed letter (not included) and extends his thanks for his assistance. With integral address leaf. It reads, in full: "The construction of the University of Virginia, in which we have been some time engaged, having occasioned us to charge Mr Appleton of Leghorn with several successive commissions for articles we want, I have been indebted to him for the advantage of passing our remittances and letters thro' you. and I have found the passages you have been so good as to give them so safe and expeditious, that I am induced to repeat the liberty by asking your transmission of the inclosed; a liberty indeed which must be from time to time renewed, as we shall have repeated remittances and communications to make him for a year or two to come, postages Etc. will of course find their place in the accts. of remittances. I must therefore ask your indulgence for the present trouble, adding assurances of my thankfulness as well as of my great esteem and respect." Signed, " Th: Jefferson."  The University of Virginia stands on land purchased in 1788 by Revolutionary War veteran and the fifth president of the United States, James Monroe. The farmland just outside Charlottesville was purchased from Monroe by the Board of Visitors of what was then Central College in 1817, while Monroe was beginning the first of his own two terms in the White House. Guided by Jefferson, the school would lay its first building's cornerstone later in 1817 and the Commonwealth of Virginia would charter the new university on January 25, 1819, officially changing its name from "Central College" to the University of Virginia. Jefferson was intimately involved in the University, hosting Sunday dinners at his Monticello home for faculty and students, until his death. So taken with the import of what he viewed the University's foundations and potential to be and counting it amongst his greatest accomplishments, Jefferson eschewed mention of his political posts and instead insisted his grave mention only his status as author of the Declaration of Independence, author of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and father of the University of Virginia. The letter has been attractively matted and framed with integral address leaf and portrait to the overall size of 24.25" x 15.25". Not examined outside of the frame. From the Joel Levin Collection. Condition: Light scattered soiling. Gently toned. Repair to closed tear along address leaf which touches just one letter of text. Two minor areas of sticker residue to glass. HID01801242017

With integral address leaf. Docketed. It reads, in full: " Th: Jefferson presents his compliments to Capt. Cutting, and informs him that the President counts on him in the matter spoken of. The article of money shall be arranged. / Mar. 20. 1793." David Humphrey, who was engaged as the U.S. Minister to Portugal at this time, had been tasked with negotiating the ransom of American captives with the Dey of Algiers. In a letter written by Jefferson the following day, he informs Humphrey of the mission and Capt. Cutting's appointment, writing: "Mr: Cutting is allowed one hundred Dollars a month, and his expenses, which as soon as he joins you, will of course be consolidated with yours. We have made choice of him as particularly qualified to aid under your direction in the matters of account, with which he is well acquainted." The men arrived in September 1793, but the mission failed when the Dey denied them passports. The American prisoners remained in captivity until October 1796. The letter has been attractively matted and framed with a portrait of Jefferson to the overall size of 31" x 21". Not examined outside of the frame. Reference: "From Thomas Jefferson to Nathaniel Cutting, 20 March 1793;" "From Thomas Jefferson to David Humphreys, 21 March 1793," Founders Online, National Archives. Condition: Evidence of expert repair to folds. Small area of paper loss to corner of address leaf presumably caused by seal removal upon opening. Light scattered soiling. HID01801242017

    Thomas Jefferson Handwritten Check Signed While Secretary of State. One partial

    Est: $8,000 - $12,000

    Thomas Jefferson Handwritten Check Signed While Secretary of State.  One partially printed check, 6.75" x 2.5" (sight), no place; July 6, 1792. " Bank of the United States" check made out to " Messrs. Herbst & Lex or Bearer" for "sixty nine dollars and fifty cents of Dollars." Boldly signed, " Th: Jefferson." In 1792, Jefferson was in his second year as the first, and somewhat reluctant, United States secretary of state under President George Washington. He spent most of his time at odds with Alexander Hamilton, Washington's former aide-de-camp and current secretary of the treasury, and his pro-British, Federalist policies promoting the founding of banks and cities and a strong, centralized government. Jefferson was himself pro-French and a founder of the Democratic-Republicans who opposed the creation of banks and promoted an agrarian lifestyle. Jefferson ran unsuccessfully as the Republican candidate for the 1796 election, but was defeated by friend and Federalist, John Adams. The check is attractively matted and framed to the overall size of 14" x 9.75". Not examined outside of the frame. It is accompanied by a modern printed portrait of Jefferson measuring 16" x 24". From the Joel Levin Collection.  Condition: Cross punch canceled near lower edge. Light, uneven toning. HID01801242017
