To Thomas Jefferson from William Cabell Rives, 10 November 1823
Castle-Hill November 10th 1823.—
Dear sir,
I take the liberty of introducing to your acquaintance my brother Robert, who is one of the representatives of the county of Nelson in the next Legislature. He is on a visit to the University, to inspect the plan & condition of that noble establishment, & will be much gratified in the opportunity, which a personal interview will afford, of learning the views of it’s patron & founder.—
I am with sentiments of cordial & grateful respect your obt. serv.
W C Rives
