Sir
My mill stones have been arrived some time, and the wall and roof of the toll-mill house are finished. every thing therefore waits for you, & as the season is approaching when they will be wanting, & custom begins now to thicken I hope you will come immediately. I shall recieve 100. D. for you by Saturday’s post, which will be ready when you come. hoping to see you immediately, I salute you with my best wishes.
Th: Jefferson
