Summary
Hoping they are all well; noting that he doesn't know how he will get to Monticello "as one of [his] horses is in such a condition as to leave little hope of his life, and no possibility of his being in a condition to travel"; telling her that the articles he sent by Capt. Stratton should have reached her before this letter.
