Thomas Jefferson to Mathew Carey, 10 May 1818
To Mathew Carey
Monticello May 10. 18.
Dear Sir
On my return after an absence of 3. or 4. weeks I find here your favors of Apr. 11. and 18. the miniature bible and the books which came thro Capt Peyton. I will pray you now to send me the 3. books below mentioned, and also to bear in mind a former request of Chipman’s book, the select addresses & Bridgman.
the books below mentioned might come by mail, if sent one by one & at a week’s distance from one another so as not to overburthen any one of our Charlottesville mails. the route by water is tedious. send the Virgil first. I salute you with friendship & respect
Th: Jefferson
