From Jonathan Thompson

Custom House New York
Collectors Office April 26. 1823.

Sir,

I have rec’d per the Ship Howard from Havre, a box of Seeds,1 which I have this day forwarded, via Fredericksburgh to you, by the Sloop Leopard, Ogden, Master. I have paid the transportation to Havre, & freight from thence to this port—amount $220/100. With great respect and esteem have the honor to be Your Obt. Servt.

Jonathan Thompson
Collector

RC (DLC). In a clerk’s hand, signed by Thompson. Docketed by JM.

1. Here JM placed an asterisk and wrote in the left margin: “*for Agricl. Socy. of Albemarle.” The box of seeds was more than likely from the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris. A similar shipment was received by JM in 1821 (PJM-RS description begins David B. Mattern et al., eds., The Papers of James Madison: Retirement Series (3 vols. to date; Charlottesville, Va., 2009–). description ends , 2:338, 461–62 and nn. 1–2).
