Thomas Jefferson to Edmund M. Blunt, 19 October 1813

To Edmund M. Blunt

Monticello Oct. 19. 13.

Th: Jefferson presents his compliments to mr Blunt, and returns him many thanks for the copy of his edition of the Nautical Almanac for 1814. which he has been so kind as to send him. it is a very acceptable present as his inland situation renders it difficult to procure the English edition, to which mr Blount’s is made entirely equivalent by it’s exact conformity with the original. he salutes him with respect & with his best wishes for the continuance of success in this useful publication.
