To James Madison from John Trumbull, 20 October 1823
From John Trumbull
New York 20th. Octo. 1823.
Sir
Your Favor of the 11th. inst. is before me; an opportunity of sending your print to Washington offers tomorrow by a fast sailing packet. I have therefore enclosed it in a tin tube, and that in a wooden Case, and addressed it to Mr. Cutts, to whom the Captain Lynch promises to deliver it. I hope it will reach you in perfect safety, & meet your approbation.
The price of the print is Twenty dollars | $20. |
the packing cases cost One do | 1. |
$21. |
Which you will either remit to me, or retain until I shall have the honor of paying my personal respects to you at Montpellier, which I hope to do next Spring.
I beg you to present to Mrs. Madison the united Respects of Mrs. Trumbull & myself and to accept the best wishes of Sir Your obliged & faithful Servant
Jno. Trumbull
