Dear Sir
I now dispatch a cart for the two ewes you have been so kind as to select for me, and I will thank you for a line designating which is the Paular and which of the Aquirrez breed. the bearer James takes with him provisions for them on their journey. I should be glad he could be dispatched immediately. he will be a safe hand to bring the box of silver goblets. when shall we see you?
Th: Jefferson
P.S. I think there has been published a 2d vol. of the Collection of laws of Virginia printed by Pleasants. I have the 1st and will thank you to procure and send me the 2d by the bearer.
