From Thomas Jefferson to Peter Lenox, 3 August 1804

Monticello Aug. 3. 04.

Sir

Finding my work here not as far advanced as I expected I think it best not to send on a painter till I return to Washington. I mention this to you to prevent engaging one if not already done. accept my salutations & best wishes
