To Nicholas P. Trist
Montpellier Decr. 21. 1826
Dear Sir
I send you the commencing paragraph for the Report of the Board of Visitors,1 which in a more hasty draft had a sanction at the moment of our separation. I thought it best, to lose no time in enabling you to compleat the Report, that none may be lost in forwarding it to its destination, and I trust I shall have the pleasure of receiving it from your own hand rather than thro’ the mail. Health & all other blessings
