Summary
Enclosing something that is "of great consequence to be put into the post office at Charlottesville from which place it will go safer to Staunton than from hence;" saying "the sun, moon and stars move here so much like what they do at Monticello and every thing else so much in the same order, not omitting even the floods of rain, that they afford nothing new for observation."
