I consider as no small advantage, the resuming the
tone of mind of my constituents, which is lost by long absence, and can
only be recovered by mixing with them; and shall, particularly, hope for
much profit and pleasure, by contriving to pass as much time as possible
with you. Should you have a trip to Virginia in contemplation, for that
year, I hope you will time it so as that we may be there together. I
will camp you at Monticello, where, if illy entertained otherwise, you
shall not want books. In firm hope of a happy meeting with you in the
spring, or early in summer, I conclude, with assurances of the sincere
esteem and attachment, with which I am, Dear Sir, your affectionate
friend and servant,
Th: Jefferson.

TO A. DONALD.
Paris, November 18,1788.
Dear Sir,
Often solicited by persons on this side the water, to inquire for their
friends in America, about whose fate they are uncertain, I can only hand
on their requests to my friends in America. The enclosed letter from,
the Chevalier de Sigougne desires some inquiry after his brother, whom
he supposes to have settled at Todd's Bridge.
