Hazard’s printed Prospectus for this work was dated August 3, 1774, and Jefferson’s copy, much annotated on the back, is in the Jefferson Papers in the
Library of Congress. Appended is a list of the subscribers in manuscript, 19 names; some, including that of Tho
s. Jefferson, are not autograph signatures. The autograph signatures include Thomas M. Randolph, Edm. Randolph, and others.
On June 30, 1775, Hazard wrote from New York to Jefferson: “Your very obliging Letter of 30
th. April did not come to hand before a few Days ago, or it should have been answered sooner.
"I am happy that you coincide with me in Sentiment respecting the Utility of my Undertaking, and, judging of the whole from
the Materials I am already possessed of, I cannot help thinking the Collection will be vastly more important than I at first
imagined.
"The polite Manner in which you offer your Assistance lays me under great Obligations, and I beg you will be assured I shall
chearfully embrace Opportunities of rendering you any Service in my Power here.
"To prevent your having unnecessary Trouble respecting my Collection I take the Liberty of sending you the following List
of the Papers I have relating to Virginia; viz
t.
| Queen Elizabeth’s Patent to Sir W. Ralegh for making Discoveries.-- |
| The names of the Persons who composed the 1
st. & 2
d Colonies which settled in Virginia.--
|
| First, Second, & Third Charters, from Stith’s History.-- |
| King James’s Commission to Sir Walter Ralegh in 1617-- |
