Monticello. Aug. 29. 16.
Th:J. to Colo Monroe.
I sent to mr Divers to-day to ask a dinner for mr Correa, Dr Wistar, mr Gilmer & myself for tomorrow. I did not venture to add your name and mr Rush’s not knowing your convenience; but I am sure he will be rejoiced to see you both. Affectionate salutations to yourself & mr Rush.
