To Nicholas Biddle
May 31. 1827
Finding by your favor of the 27. that the Library of the Philosophical Society does not contain a Copy of the Revised Code as reported by Mr. Jefferson & his Colleagues, I send for it the promised one herewith inclosed.1 The Copies being now very scarce, I have not been able to furnish one in a less Soiled Condition. With great & very sincere esteem
Draft (DLC).
