To Thomas Jefferson from Francis Walker Gilmer, 31 January 1825
Richmond 31st Jany 1825
Dear Sir.
Intelligence has at last reached us, that the Competitor is not lost; it put into Plymonth in the gale, & was there on the 8th Decr We may expect the professors every day. The delay is vexatious, but less distressing than the loss of the professors would have been.
yours most truly
F.W. Gilmer
