Jan. 9. 14.
Th: Jefferson presents his compliments to M. Girardin and his regrets that his garden is so bare of kitchen herbs as to have but a single plant of sage, & that stripped of it’s leaves: he has no translation of Quinctilian. Bonne’s Atlas is sent by the bearer.
P.S. T. Jefferson Randolph is in Richmond, but expected home daily.
