Summary
Referring to a land transaction near Warren; reporting on his health saying "after being confined to the house about 6. weeks, I am now quite well. the diseased jawbone having exfoliated, the piece was extracted about a week ago, the place is healed, the swelling nearly subsided, and I wait only for moderate weather to resume my rides. as the term of my relief from this place approaches, it's drudgery becomes more nauseating & intolerable, and my impatience to be with you at Monticello increases daily;" discussing the planting schedule for Edgehill and Monticello .
