To J. F. Daniel Lobstein

Monticello Oct. 10. 22.

Th: Jefferson has recieved from Doctr Lobstein his letter of Sep. 6. on the subject of his topography of Philadelphia, and of some other works in German. of these last however he cannot avail himself, not understanding the German language. writing is become so slow and painful to him, that he can only make his acknolegement for this mark of attention, express his wishes for their success and assure Doctr Lobstein of his great respect.
