51To Thomas Jefferson from William Short, 26 March 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
By my calculation I hoped to recieve your letter from Aix yesterday.

I have this moment arrived here, and the first thing I do is to announce it to you. I left this morning the Chateau de Laye and came by water diligence to this place.
