Mentioning a letter he wrote to Mr. Randolph; reporting that he has been home a week; noting that the "natural productions of the spring are about a fortnight earlier here than at Fredericksburg"; hoping that she and her family will come to visit him soon, as "the bloom of Monticello is chilled by [his] solitude"; speaking of his love for Martha, her sister Maria, "and the tender connections you have added to me"; enclosing a letter from "Mde. Salimberi."
