Thomas Jefferson to Mathew Carey, 18 January 1818
To Mathew Carey
Monticello Jan. 18. 18
Dear Sir
The copy of the catalogue you first sent me came only to the 200th page. in the latter part of that now received1 I find those underwritten which I will pray you to send me. Asserius may come by mail, but the other three volumes I would prefer to have sent by some vessel bound to Richmond. if addressed to Capt Bernard Peyton of that place he will pay freight & forward them to me. Accept the assurance of my great esteem & respect.
Th: Jefferson
