Your favor of Feb. 29. came to hand yesterday. That of Feb. 24. a week ago.

I salute you with esteem and...

Your favor which I recieved at Monticello was so long on the road that I expected you would be with us yourself very soon after. finding however the season advance beyond the time for expecting you, without these expectations being realised, I wrote to you and directed my letter to be put into mr Mc.lure’s hands, and I hope you got it safely. on my arrival here I recieved a letter from Genl...

Under these circumstances it becomes necessary to consider what would be his best plan for the summer. Tho’ I have promised to remain here longer than I had...
