Your faver of the 24th. Ultimo accompaned with your portabel addition of Palladio came safe to hand for Whch sir, I return to you my graitest Thanks, and that Take perticular care of it: on applying to Mr. Jno. M. Randolph he was extremly kind and gave me an introductory Letter to Mr. Edmond Randolph, Who perchasd the Liberary of the Late Mr. Riland Randolph: Mr Edmond Randolph has lent me palladio for a few days after which I must Return it. I think I shall not be abel to perchce it as he Towld me that he considered it a most valuabel worc: and from the infermation you have pleasd to give me in your Last Letter I am afraid shal not be abel to get one in america.

I am at the present ingagd in finishing an Ice-houce for Mr. Galligo, but have in part prepard the corinthian-cornice for his drawing-rume and shal go on with it as sune as the Job on hand is finished. there are many other jobs of alteration to be maid in the House but none of the rumes are calculated to receive a cornice.

Adue and may Heaven bess you.
