From Thomas Jefferson to Frederick A. Mayo, 19 February 1822
Monticello Feb. 19. 22.
Sir
The package which accompanies this is of the 2. first volumes of a work, of which I will send the two last by the next mail to avoid burthening it too much at a time. I like the stile of the last bindings you did for me from a plain yellow model I sent you, making the backs a little richer. be so good as to do these in the same way as expeditiously as is admitted by the solid pressing which I value and return them two at a time [. . .] different mails. accept my friendly salutations.
Th: Jefferson
