To Thomas Ritchie
Monticello Dec. 7. 18.
Dear Sir
It is long since I have ceased to read any newspaper but yours, and I shall continue to read no other. withdrawing therefore from all others I pray you to have me discontinued as a subscriber to the Compiler. should the legislature have the report of the University Commissioners printed in a pamphlet be so good as to send me half a dozen copies. mr Gibson as usual will pay you for these as well as my newspaper account. I salute you with friendship & respect
Th: Jefferson
