title: Letter to [Tristram] Dalton

abstracts: Acknowledges letter of the 16th congratulating him on his approaching presidency; great quantities of handbills have been circulated in the late election; the more they write and lie about his Defence [of the American Constitution], the more good they will do by causing people to read the volumes; the principles of his book will be adopted soon in France; they have already raised that government out of anarchy; our antifederal emissaries have made the French believe that we shall do as they please; he will need the help of his friends, if elected president; a postscript deprecates the democratic tendencies of Jefferson and his patronage of Thomas Paine and Philip Freneau.

title: Document

abstracts: "Note [to J. K. Tefft] relative to the original draught of the Declaration of Independence . . . in the handwriting of Thomas Jefferson and now in the possession of the American Philosophical Society at Philadelphia." According to this statement Jefferson made two fair copies from his own rough draft; one was submitted to Congress by Benjamin Harrison, as the report of the committee on the Declaration; the other was sent by Jefferson to R. H. Lee together with a copy of the Declaration as agreed to by Congress; R. H. Lee and Arthur Lee compared the two, marking, on the original draft, the parts rejected by Congress; the copy so marked was printed by R. H. Lee in his Life of R. H. Lee [vol. 1, p. 275], and then given by him to the Society, in 1825; several editions of this proposed draft were published between 1825 and 1829, in which year a lithograph fac-simile was published by Randolph in his Memoirs of Jefferson [vol. 1, p. 146]; the copy of this draft that was presented to Congress can not be found; the engrossed copy is in the department of State.
