I did not recieve till yesterday your favor of the 5th & I have now to request you to send on the me the Dion Cassius. that our mail may not be burthened, be pleased to send 2. vols only at a time and the different envois a week distant from each other. they should be wrapped in strong paper, to avoid the injury of being rubbed in the mail. I salute you with esteem and respect.
