To Thomas Jefferson from Joel Barlow, 14 July 1808
14 July.
Dear Sir
As Capn. Haley told me he was sending to your house to day for some heavy baggage, I take the liberty of sending two small boxes of books to be sent on board his vessel with your things.
I beg you to excuse this freedom, as I have no other way of getting them on board.β
Yr. obt. Sert
J. Barlow
