Your favor of the 6 th with the MS. accompanying it comes to hand just as I am preparing to set out on a journey of considerable time and distance. I am therefore able to give it but a hasty perusal. this added to my want of familiarity with the technical methods of conveying instruction makes me an inadequate judge of that you propose. I have not indeed heretofore made myself acquainted, but...

I recieved last night your two favors of Jan. 30. and all the books have been received as stated in your account . I have now to request you to send me a copy of your dictionary; let the 1 st vol. come first as being most immediately wanting.

9Thomas Jefferson to Nicolas G. Dufief, 7 April 1816 (Jefferson Papers)
I have too long neglected to remit you the amount of your account , which I believe is 24.

Accept the...
