Thus you will see he provided a secluded outdoor compartment for profes- sors' families that corresponded to his Monticello south lawn. Regarding these changes, Mr. J. C. Cabel, who was Mr. Jefferson's most helpful legislative co-worker, but whose criticism on the style and constructions of buildings were generally not accepted, says, " I was extremely happy to be informe...d by General Cocke that you had annexed the gar- dens to the back yards of the pavilions." In locating the group of buildings, Mr. Jefferson so fixed C 116 J Jefferson as a Designer of Landscapes the main axis line of his quadrangle that the southerly view to the court was over a rather precipitous narrow valley run- ning across the axis line with a narrow ridge beyond, and then at some distance a high hill view, really a fine outlook. I find no evidence that it ever was Mr. Jefferson's intent to close up this view and this "opening south." Apparently the indefinite extensions he had in view at that time were to be continuations of the lawns and the ranges.
