William Thomas to Thomas Jefferson, 27 March [1824]
From William Thomas
Washington March 27—
Dear Sir
I am now at the seat of government and intend to visit you, provided your health is in such a State, as to be able to see your friends. If so you will do me the favor of writing me and giving me information so that my visit to Monticell may not be1 in vain. As my stay here must be short, I wish dear sir you would write me immediately by the return mail.
