I find it impossible to get a copy of Madison ’s map without linen or rollers, and as it is indispensable to have one at the meeting of the Commissioners for the University I must pray you to get me one of those which you say can be had with linen & rollers. I should prefer one with the borders of the county counties coloured, but not the body. the agent who has them, will roll one very...
