From Thomas Jefferson to Dabney Carr, 11 September 1806
Monticello Sep: 11. 06.
Th: Jefferson with his affectionate salutations to Mr. Carr, sends for his acceptance some books, a part of mr Wythe’s law library, which may be useful to mr Carr in his law-labors. in this disposition of them he believes he fulfills the philanthropic views of the testator more exactly than by retaining them himself.
