Permit me therefore to introduce him to the honour of your acquaintance, and to ask for him those attentions and civilities which you are ever ready to shew to worth and talents: and to repeat the assurances of those sentiments of esteem & attachment with which I am Dear Sir Your friend and servant,

Th: Jefferson
