Randolph Harrison to Thomas Jefferson, 17 February 1818
From Randolph Harrison
Clifton 17th Feby 1818
Dear Sir,
I have delayed longer than was necessary, to return to you the subscription for the central college, in the hope of obtaining further donation, & for the last three weeks, on acct of a fall which has given so much pain as to render me unable to write.
You will find enclosed the subscription which I held, together with one which was conveyed to me by Mr George N: Skipwith. There is one in the hands of Mr Baker, unless it has been conveyed, which in addition to these, will I believe make the sum total from this county. Let me avail myself of this occasion to assure you of the pleasure I feel, in hearing by Mr T:JR: that you enjoy good health.
