1To Thomas Jefferson from George Ticknor, 16 June 1823 (Jefferson Papers)
It is very rarely that I venture to address a letter to you; because I am quite aware how constantly you are exposed to the solicitations of correspondence and, how they must, in a situation like your’s, resemble persecution. But, I wish now to send you a copy of the Syllabus I have prepared for my course of Lectures on Spanish Literary History & Criticism, and should be sorry to have it go...
2To Thomas Jefferson from George Ticknor, 25 December 1823 (Jefferson Papers)
I have been hoping every week since I received your very kind and valuable letter last summer, that I should be able to answer it in a manner, that would at the same time gratify you and be pleasant to myself;—but, I have, until within a few days, been constantly disappointed, I refer now entirely to your requests for a copy or account of the regulations for the management of our College. Ever...

4To Thomas Jefferson from George Ticknor, 28 March 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
Ever since my return from the South, I have borne in mind your desire to have a list of the principal German works in literary History and of the best of their belles-lettres writers. The lists were easily made out; but there was some difficulty in obtaining the prices of each. This difficulty, however, I have at last overcome, & I now inclose the two lists, with, I believe, the exact cost of...

I take the liberty to commend to your kindness Mr. B. A. Gould of this city. He has been for ten years at the head of our publick latin school, & has made it the most valuable means for promoting the Knowledge of ancient literature, that yet exists in N. England.

Mr. Samuel H. Walley, who signs the instrument of May seventh, as security to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia, in conjunction with William Hilliard, Bookseller, is well known to us as a Merchant of this city and we deem his security for fifteen thousand dollars as therein set forth, to be good & sufficient.

I take the liberty of sending you with this a copy of a pamphlet, I have recently had occasion to publish on the changes undertaken in the college with which I am connected.

I have the pleasure to send you with this a copy of the Baron de Stael’s Letters upon England, which I recently received from him with a request, that I would present it to you in his name, with the expression of his entire respect. It gives me great satisfaction to do so; and, I hope I am not mistaken in sending to you through the Post, under the impression, that your Frank will entirely...
