I inclose you a letter and an Invoice of a parcel of Books, received yesterday from my son, in the Ship Cordelia from Hamburg. On receiving the Books, which will probably be in the course of eight or ten days, I will as soon as possible reship them to Messrs Gibson and Jefferson, your Correspondents in Richmond. As soon as I can get at the amount of duties, freight &c. I will forward it to you, and also, to Messrs Gibson and Jefferson.
