Peter Minor to Thomas Jefferson, 22 February 1819
From Peter Minor
Ridgeway 22d Feb. 1819
Dr Sir
I had an opportunity of sending your letter to Majr Watson by a direct conveyance the day after I recd it. I recd the enclosed last evening by the return of the messenger, & thinking that yr proposed meeting at Mr Madisons may somewhat depend upon his answer, I have got my Nephew Mr Quarles to ride up, in order to ensure your early receipt of it.
With Great Esteem
Yrs
P. Minor.
