James Madison to Bernard Peyton, 5 June 1829
June 5. –29
Dear Sir
We are filling out for Richd. 2 Waggons with 4 Hhds. of Tobo. wch. I hope will find a good Market. This neighborhood has been favored with the finest planting season, and if the crops are not generally pitched, it must be owing to a backwardness of the plant beds, which I presume from the late frosting weather has happened in but a few instances, if in any.
I ask your attention to the inclosed list of Articles, which the Wagoner will take charge of. With friendly salutations
J. M
Draft (DLC).
