I had
a model made there, and it has answered perfectly. A workman here has
made several from that model. The itinerant temper of your court will, I
think, render one of these useful to you. You must, therefore, do me the
favor to accept of one. I have it now in readiness, and shall send it
by the way of Bayonne, to the care of Mr. Alexander there, unless Don
Miguel de Lardi-zabal can carry it with him.
My hand admonishes me it is time to stop, and that I must defer writing
to Mr. Barclay till to-morrow.
I have the honor to be, with sentiments of the highest esteem and
respect,
Dear Sir, your most obedient
and most humble servant,
Th: Jefferson.
LETTER XXXVI.--TO MR. VAUGHAN, December 29, 1786
TO MR. VAUGHAN.
Paris, December 29, 1786.
Sir,
When I had the honor of seeing you in London, you were so kind as to
permit me to trouble you, sometimes with my letters, and particularly
on the subject of mathematical or philosophical instruments. Such a
correspondence will be too agreeable to me, and at the same time too
useful, not to avail myself of your permission.
