Dr. Crenshaw, Right. The New York Times story from Monday reads that Washington University's library is now the third largest repository of Jefferson’s books after the Library of Congress and UVA. As far as I know the LVA has no plan to attempt to acquire these books. I doubt WU would want to give up its new distinction as the largest repository of Jefferson volumes west of the Mississippi. Thanks for reading! -Dale Dulaney To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-roots.html
