<strong>Brick</strong>_<strong>Wood</strong>_<strong>Stone</strong>_<strong>Land</strong>_<strong>Water</strong>_<strong>Measurement</strong><br />
We shall build one [pavilion] only in the latter end <strong>of</strong> this year, and go on with others year after year, as<br />
our funds increase.<br />
TJ to James Dinsmore, 13 April 1817, ViU:TJ.<br />
...the intention <strong>of</strong> the Visitors is, not to erect a single and expensive building, which would at once exhaust<br />
their funds; but to make it rather an Academical village. a small box, or Pavilion, is to be erected for<br />
each school and it’s pr<strong>of</strong>essor separately, with chambers, or dormitories for the students, all united by<br />
a covered colonnade, and arranged on each side <strong>of</strong> a lawn <strong>of</strong> 200. feet wide. besides the security which<br />
this arrangement gives against fire and infection, it has the great convenience <strong>of</strong> admitting building after<br />
building to be erected successively as their funds come in, and as their pr<strong>of</strong>essorships are subdivided.<br />
one <strong>of</strong> these pavilions is now in progress, and will be ready, by the 1st. <strong>of</strong> April next . . .<br />
TJ’s undated draft <strong>of</strong> the article for the Richmond Enquirer, and the polygraph copy <strong>of</strong> the letter it was enclosed in, TJ to Ritchie, 28 August 1817, are in DLC:TJ.
