From Thomas Jefferson to John Barnes, 9 August 1807
Monticello Aug. 9. 07.
Dear Sir
Your favor of the 6th. with 320. D. inclosed came safely to hand yesterday, for which I return you my thanks. I found my family all well, and we are now together at this place. our neighborhood is in a remarkeably healthy state at present. I recieve daily information from Lynhaven bay where the British ships remain quiet, going in & out occasionally. it remains to be seen what will be the case when Barclay arrives who is daily expected. I salute you affectionately
Th: Jefferson
