Nicolas G. Dufief to Thomas Jefferson, 30 December 1811

From Nicolas G. Dufief

A Philadelphie ce 30 Xbre 1811

Monsieur,

Vous trouverez ci-inclus le premier Supplement au catalogue que j’ai eu l’honneur de vous acheminer aussi-tôt après Sa publication. Je viens de recevoir le calcul intégral & différentiel de La Croix, mais comme vous voulez toutes ses œuvres, je présume que cet ouvrage ne vous conviendra pas.

Je profite de cette occasion pour vous prier d’agréer au renouvellement de l’année mes vœux pour votre santé & votre Prospérité

Votre très-respectueux Serviteur

N. G. Dufief

Editors’ Translation

Philadelphia 30 December 1811

Sir,

You will find enclosed the first supplement to the catalogue that I had the honor to forward to you immediately after its publication. I have just received Lacroix’s integral and differential calculus, but since you want all of his works, I presume that it will not suit you.

I take advantage of this opportunity on the eve of the New Year to convey my wishes for your health and prosperity

Your very respectful Servant

N. G. Dufief

RC (DLC); endorsed by TJ as received 5 Jan. 1812 and so recorded in SJL. Translation by Dr. Roland H. Simon. Enclosure not found.
