Thomas Jefferson to Patrick Henry.
PARIS July 15. 1785.
SIR: Mr. Houdon s long and desperate illness has re tarded till now his departure for Virginia, we had hoped from our first conversations with him that it would be easy to make our terms, and that the cost of the statue and ex- pence of sending him would be but about a thousand gui neas, but when we came to settle this precisely, he thought himself obliged to ask vastly more, inso...much that at one moment we thought our treaty at an end. But unwilling to commit such a work to an inferior hand, we made him an ultimate proposition on our part, he was as much mortified at the prospect of not being the executor of such a work, as we were not to have it done by such a hand, he there fore acceded to our terms, tho we are satisfied he will be a considerable loser, we were led to insist on them because in a former letter to the Governor I had given the hope we entertained of bringing the whole within 1000 guineas, the terms are 25, 000 livres or 1000 English guineas (the Eng lish guinea being worth 25 livres) for the statue & pedes tal, besides this we pay his expences going & returning, which we expect will be between four and five thousand 306 PATRICK HENRY.
