Thomas Jefferson to Wilson Cary Nicholas, 6 November 1813
To Wilson Cary Nicholas
Monticello Nov. 6. 13.
Dear Sir
You took the trouble of reading my former letters to mr Eppes on the subject of our finances, and I therefore inclose you a third letter to him on an important branch of the same subject, banks, for your perusal, if the volume does not appear too formidable. be so good as to stick a wafer into the letter and put it into the shortest post-line for Ça-ira which is his nearest post-office.—I expect within 10. or 12. days to set out for Bedford, and may have the pleasure of seeing you for a moment en passant, as the season requires me to make Gibson’s my first day’s stage. with great esteem & respect:
Th: Jefferson
