Altho’ I feel reluctance in trespassing for a moment on the repose to which you have just retired, I can not well avoid enclosing a letter from M r La Trobe which he wishes may be seen by you before it be decided on, because he thinks you have already acquiesc’d in the reasonableness of of its object: and which I wish you to see, because I am so raw on the whole subject, as to need any...

The inclosed letter accompanied y e skin of an Animal, not named by the writer , which belongs to the Region of the Rocky Mountains .

I rec d yesterday yours covering the letter of M r Spafford , which was forwarded to him as you suggested: His object in communicating it I collect only from its contents.

Your favor of the 22 d did not come to hand till the day before yesterday. It will give me pleasure to take the place of M r Barnes in the note to the Bank ; the more so as it will, it seems, to be a relief to the Old Gentleman’s pecuniary anxieties.

M r Gray , son of M r William Gray so distinguished for his wealth & his patriotism, wishing with his lady to pay their respects at Monticello , I can not do less than favor the opportunity by a line of introduction.
