Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Ritchie, 3 September 1816
To Thomas Ritchie
Monticello Sep. 3. 16.
Sir
I have just had sight of a statistical document so very curious that I am exceedingly anxious to obtain a copy of it. it is entitled ‘a statement of the revenue tax for the year 1815 arising on lots land and other property’ a two sheet table printed in your office. if you can procure me a copy you will greatly oblige me. Accept assurances of my friendly respect.
Th: Jefferson
