(Nos. 15 and 17, the second and third pavilions to be built, must be the ones taken from Latrobe's sketches. No difference in technique, either in drawing, or calculation, distinguishes them from the other drawings of the pavilions.)

Note: p203m1 The Plates, 1-15, are identical with each other in material and technique. They are drawn on a heavy paper, without watermark, and are lightly ruled by hand (over the area necessary) with coördinate lines, about ten to the inch, exactly equal in spacing to Jefferson's brown lined coördinate paper. The drawing is in ink, with extremely fine and accurate lines. The lower and left hand lines in plan are often shaded. The elevations, and the solids of the plans, are tinted, with materials and planes brought out, but no shadows are cast except beneath cornices. The columns are modelled both by vertical lines and by a tint. The windows are indicated in a manner unlike that usually found in Jefferson's drawings. The Corinthian capitals are clumsily drawn, but with a different touch than Jefferson's. The authorship seems, then, probably not to be Jefferson's, but it is apparently the same as that of "No. 17," below, and the tinting of number "7," above ( q. v. ). Accordingly, the "Plates" would seem to be from the hand of Jefferson's granddaughter Cornelia J. Randolph.

Beautifully executed and inscribed with notes "Light" "Shade" "Reflected Light," etc., in a hand not Jefferson's. Perhaps a model, made (by Mills?) to teach Cornelia Randolph the methods of conventional rendering.
The corresponding notes occur on p. 16 of Jefferson's notebook for Monticello, reproduced in Figure 81.

Note: p205m2 Early study for the plan of pavilion and dormitory units without porticoes or colonnades, University of Virginia. Ink and pencil. Scale: about ten feet to the inch. Brown lined coördinate paper. 1804-05. Jefferson Papers, miscellaneous, undated.
The pavilion, as notes on the margin indicate, was to have a cellar story of ten feet and an upper story of twelve feet; the dormitories a single story of ten feet. The pavilion is divided into three separate suites, two rooms deep, by unbroken walls. There are no stairs. The lines of dormitories strike the middle of the sides of the pavilion. The notes are on a basis of sixteen dormitories for each pavilion, and nine colleges of such units in all. As differing in many features from the scheme outlined in 1810, thenceforth little modified, this drawing is probably antecedent to that date, and may very probably have been made at the time Jefferson was consulted by Mr. L. W. Tazewell in regard to the establishment of a university. (Cf. p. 74, note.) It is thus by far the earliest of all the University drawings.
