ViU:PP, 1p [2028] with address and ASB docket "Copy of a contract by Mr Jefferson with
Raggi--"; printed, O'Neal, "Michele and Giacomo Raggi at the University of Virginia,"
Magazine of Albemarle County History, 18:29-30. The ADft is on the verso of a coversheet
addressed to Jefferson from James Madison that reads "Orange C H July 14. Mr. Jefferson
Monticello near Charlottesville, Va." Jefferson apparently saw the draft again along with
the copy of the agreement to be signed and other documents relating to Raggi, as indicated
by a separate note addressed to "Mr Brockenbrough" by Jefferson pertaining to the contract,
"Th: J. to mr Brockenbrough at the end of the 2d. paragraph, after the words 'the other half
at their delivery on ship board' interline 'but if on their arrival at Leghorn, there be no ship
in port bound as aforesd, the last half is to be paid on their delivery to the sd T. Appleton,
deducting the transportation on ship-board.'" At the bottom of this note Brockenbrough
added: "or to Thos Appleton if on their arrival at Leghorn there be no ship in port bound as
aforesaid deducting the transportation on ship board after the delivery to said Appleton."
Jefferson's one-page memorandum of this date about this agreement in DLC:TJ reads:
"heads of Raggis agreemt. for corinthian bases. Date Sep. 8. 23. he will furnish 10. Corinthn
