Extract from Thomas Jefferson to Martha Jefferson Randolph

Philadelphia July 7. 1793.

I never before knew the full value of trees. my house is entirely embosomed in high plane trees, with good grass below, & under them I breakfast, dine, write, read & receive my company. what would I not give that the trees planted nearest round the house at Monticello were full grown.
