To Richard Peters
Montpellier Feby. 23. 1822
Dear Sir
I have recd. the copy of Mr. Biddle’s address so obligingly forwarded by you.
I knew before that Mr. B. was a fine writer; but I did not know that he was so accomplished a farmer. His address shews that he is both. I have read it not only with pleasure but with instruction: and I return you my thanks for the opportunity of doing so. Accept in addition to them my cordial regards and my best wishes
James Madison
