Legaux’s LETTER, dated 1 Mch. 1802 and received on the 19th, is recorded in SJL but has not been found. He wrote from Spring Mill, his estate on the Schuylkill River (Vol. 30:42n).

BUNDLE OF VINE PLANTS: Legaux sent TJ 30 vines of grape varieties from the Burgundy and Champagne regions of France and 30 from Bordeaux. Ten additional plants were of what Legaux called the Cape of Good Hope grape, which has subsequently been identified as the Alexander grape of American origin. On 11 May, TJ paid Antonio Giannini $1 for planting the vines in the southwest vineyard at Monticello. Legaux had offered vines to TJ in March 1801, but due to the lateness of the season TJ asked him to wait until 1802 to send them (Betts, Garden Book description begins Edwin M.
