Mav:
A question about your entry. The date does have me puzzled because there are two numbers that could be dates. Here's what you pasted:
1745 Franklin Drinker's Dict. Wks. 1887 II. 26 He makes a Virginia Fence.
"He makes a Virginia Fence," is preceded by 1887, and that, if a date, would be well beyond Jefferson's time, but what, then, of the 1745? I take the 1887 to be some particular kind of entry information. How should we read the '1887 II 26' information, all three parts: 1887, II, and 26?
