James Maury to Thomas Jefferson, 26 June 1820
From James Maury
Liverpool 26 June 1820
Dear Sir,
In passing a Porcelain Warehouse the other day, I was so struck with a correct likeness of Mr Roscoe in a small Bust that I thought it would be pleasing to you to have the opportunity of giving it a place in your Collection at Monticello & I have requested Mr Pollard of Richmond to forward it, of which I pray your acceptance with the best wishes of your old obliged friend
