To Frederick A. Mayo
Monticello Dec. 21. 18.
Sir
Doubting whether my box of books may have yet got to your hands, on account of the low state of our river and having since recieved sundry pamphlets which I wish to have bound up with those sent, I now send them in a [s]eparate package by mail. each contains a direction into what volume it is to be inserted. I salute you respectfully
Th: Jefferson
