We left Charlottesville on Saturday morning, the 4th of February, forCharlottesville on Saturday morning, the 4th of February, for Mr. Jefferson's. He lives, you know, on a mountain, which he has named Monticello, and which, perhaps you do not know, is a synonyme for Carter's mountain. The ascent of this steep, savage hill, way in his appearance, and ease and graciousness in his manners. . . . . He rang, and sent to Charlottesville for our baggage, and, as dinner approached, took us to the drawing-room,—a large and ratherticello should not be passed by.

Yesterday we formed a party, and, with Mr. Jefferson at our head, went to the University. See ante, p. 303. It is a very fine establishment, consisting of ten houses for professors, four eating-housesound it. It has cost two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and the thorough finish of every part of it, and the beautiful architecture of the whole, show, I think, that it has not cost too much.
