Lot 406
Jefferson, Thomas. Autograph note signed ("Th: Jefferson") in the third person, 1p, 5 x 8 in. (Monticello), 1824 May 14. Very good; silked on verso; some soiling to address leaf, seal hole and upper right corner mended. An invitation to "Mr. Goodacre / Charlottesville" to dine with the 81-year-old former President, two years before his death. In full: "Th: Jefferson asks the favor of Mr. Goodacre and his son to dine with him to-day at 3 oclock. May 14, 24." With holograph address leaf. The invitation is probably to William Goodacre, a Charlottesville neighbor and artist who drew a series of early views of the "academical village" designed by Jefferson for the University of Virginia.
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,500.
From the private collection of Dr. Hiri Etessami.
