{"value"=>"John D. Burke [sic], who is writing a history of Virginia, wishes to consult some volumes in Jefferson's collection, and has asked that they be deposited with Page; he has therefore written to T. M. Randolph to have them shipped; the volume of laws is the only collection extant of the laws from 1734 to 1772; it must be placed in careful hands, where it may be used by Burke and still be accessible for judiciary purposes; the volumes of newspapers Burke may take home with him; hopes to receive a visit from Page at Monticello in August; he approves Judge Tucker's plan of collecting historical materials, but fears that it would not be persevered in, having seen so many literary associations rendered abortive through indolence; people who love science are too few in this country."}
