To Thomas Jefferson from E. Watts, 22 April 1826
Charlottesville 22nd April 1826.
Mr Jefferson will please say, whether he wishes the plates of Nicholson’s Encyclopedia to be bound at the end of each vol. or in a Seperate one—I have bound Several copies, and the owners prefer the latter.
When a subject is 20, 30, or more pages & reference is frequently had to the plates it is considered more convenient to have them Seperate from the work
Very Respectfully
E: Watts
