Dear Sir,
This will be handed you by mr Gerry, the Son of your old Acquaintance & friend the Vice President—
Being on a visit to his relations in Pittsylvania, & being desirous of taking Monticello in his route, I cannot resist the desire of introducing him to your acquaintance and civility—
I have been for some weeks in daily expectation of an order to go on to Fort George—it has now been so long delayed that I almost dispair of active employment this fall

I am Dr Sir yr frnd & Servt
