MS (DLC: TJ Papers, 232:42099); written entirely in TJ’s hand on both sides of a small scrap.
mo m may stand for “Monticello mountain.”
The books and prices listed here probably relate to TJ’s preparation of recommendations to guide the reading of Francis Eppes and Nicholas P. Trist (TJ to Eppes, 9 Apr. 1822, and enclosure; TJ to Trist, 14 June 1822).
abr. ca. eq. was A General Abridgment of Cases in Equity, Argued and Adjudged in the High Court of Chancery, &c. (London, 1732, and later eds.; no. 1755). f.e.: Francis Eppes.
1. Following six lines also on verso of TJ’s Notes on Bricks Needed for Monticello Columns and Cisterns, [by 13 May 1822], with heading there reading “common bricks brought” instead of “Perry.”
2. TJ here canceled “a day.”
3. Following five lines of text also on verso of TJ’s Notes on Bricks.
4. TJ here interlined a calculation adding 1,008.47 to 23.85 to get 1,032.32.
5. Remainder on verso.
