John Morton to Thomas Jefferson, 29 November 1802
From John Morton
N. York Nov. 29. 1802.
Sir
The Editors of the Medical Repository having requested of me a Summary Account of the City of Havana, I beg permission to request your acceptance of a Copy of that Article from their last number.
You will perceive, Sir, that, as there stated, it is but a summary: but as I intend collecting all my Notes into one view (those which you did me the honor formerly to peruse being much enlarged & corrected) I shall, at a future day, also request your acceptance of that collection; as a small mark of that sincere respect with which I continue
to remain, Sir, Your ob. Serv
Jno. Morton.
