From Thomas Jefferson to John Brennan, 5 August 1825
Monto Aug. 5. 25.
Sir
your letter of July 25. finds me in so low a state of health as to be able only to say in reply to it that I had too much regard for M. de Chastellux to decline any thing which might bear witness to his merit. to the publicn therefore of his life and travels I willing subscribe accdg to your request, and pray you to accept assurances of my great respect
Th: J.
