Dabney Carr to Thomas Jefferson, 8 July 1813
From Dabney Carr
Winchester. July 8th 1813.
Dr Sir
The inclosed Deed was this moment delivered to me by mr Randolph, with a request, that I would forward it to you: I do so without loss of time, as I know that you are anxious to receive it, & to close the business to which it relates. you will see that it has been reacknowledged by mr R. & ordered to be certified from this County—this was done at the last County Court—It is very well that this has not been delayed longer; for mr R is so low, that it seems to me impossible for him to last much longer—yet he is still carried about.
D Carr
my Court is sitting, & the business pressing heavily upon, which must be my apology for this hasty note
