Dear Sir
Your Esteemed favour of the 27th ult post marked Milton March 8th reached me last week
When you have compleated the review of the library I am ready to come & pack the Books. I will have the paper-shavings and wrapping paper ready that they may be Sent on as Soon as I hear that you are Ready—
It will be necessary to have the packing cases that Each may Contain about 300 wt (but they need not be Made until I come) So that they be made of Such Size that each wagon will hold Eight Cases
