Copy of the author's cousin, Thomas Jefferson Coolidge (1831-1920), with his signature. Coolidge 'was born to a prominent Boston Brahmin family and was a great-grandson of the 3rd United States President Thomas Jefferson, through his maternal grandparents, Thomas Mann Randolph Jr. and Martha Jefferson Randolph. . . . A Republican, he was appointed by Benjamin Harrison to succeed Whitelaw Reid as United States Ambassador to France on May 12, 1892, a role his great-grandfather had held from May 1785 to September 1789. Coolidge presented his credentials on June 10, 1892 and he presented his recall on May 4, 1893, terminating his mission. In 1898 and 1899, he was a member of the American delegation to the commission to resolve the Alaska boundary dispute. Historian Ernest May says Coolidge was, 'a prototype member of what today we call the foreign policy establishment.' . . . In 1898, Coolidge donated a collection of Thomas Jefferson's personal papers to the Massachusetts Historical Society in Boston. The collection contained more than 8,000 items: Correspondence, including 3,280 letters that Jefferson had written and 4,630 letters that he had received; Jefferson's garden book (1766-1824) and farm book (1774-1824); annotated almanacs from 1771-1776; account books for 1783-1790; manuscript expense accounts from 1804-1825; notes on the weather spanning the years 1782-1826; plans of American forts in 1765; law treatises, 1778-1788; legal papers, 1770-1772; and Jefferson's 1783 catalog of his personal library' (Wikipedia). See The Autobiography of T. Jefferson Coolidge, 1831-1920 (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1923). '[Randolph] wrote about her great grandfather in The Domestic Life of Thomas Jefferson: Compiled from Family Letters and Reminiscences that was published in 1871. It discusses the relationship between Thomas Jefferson Randolph and his maternal grandfather Thomas Jefferson. Historian Dumas Malone stated that 'nobody has given a better picture of [Jefferson] as a family man than Sarah N. Randolph.' '.
