Bernard Peyton to Thomas Jefferson, 2 March 1818
From Bernard Peyton
Richd 2 March 1818
Dear sir
I received yester the Plough & Box of Seed of which you spoke in your letter & will Ship them tomorrow to their different points of destination with all possible care. I received many days since a Bill of Lading from Matthew Carey of Philadelphia for a Box of Books to your address which has never yet reached me, owing I suppose to the Ice in the Delaware, when it does, it shall be forwarded without loss of time.
I am pleased at every opportunity to render you a service.
With great respect & esteem Your very Obd: Servt:
Bernard Peyton
