Thomas Jefferson to Mathew Carey, 28 November 1818
To Mathew Carey
Monticello Nov. 28. 18.
Dear Sir
In a letter of Oct. 6. I requested the favor of you to send me
Griesbach’s Greek testament, the 8vo & full edition, and
The New testament in an improved version on the basis of Newcome’s translation which, altho’ published in Boston, I supposed could be had in Philadelphia. hearing nothing of them I conjecture they are either forgotten or not to be had in Philadelphia. I would rather have them unbound, and they may come by mail if to be had. I salute you with friendship & respect.
Th: Jefferson
