Excerpt from Autograph Letters and Autographs of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence In pursuance of these resolutions, Mr. Jefferson w the original draft while lodged in the house of a Mr. Gsituate at what is now the Southwest corner of Seventh and Market Streets, Philadelphia. Writing to Dr. James Mease on September 16th, 1825, Mr. Jefferson said: At the time of writing that Instrument (the Declaration) I lodged in the house ofa Mr. Gratz, a new brick house three stories high, of which I rented the second floor consisting of a parlor and bed - room ready furnished. In that parlor I wrote habitually and in it wrote this paper particularly. So far I state from original drafts in my possession. The proprietor Gratz was a young man. I think he was a brick layer and that his house was on the South side of Market Street probably between Seventh and Eighth Streets, and if not the only house on that part of the street I am sure there were few others near it.
