I sent the original of this by one Mr. Shore, a Virginia Gentleman and merchant, who has letters of recommendation to you and Mr. Deane from Mr. Jefferson; and some from me to my friends in Italy. In delivering the first letter without direction I wish you would take notice of my parcel of papers, which you sent me word by Mr. Jefferson went to Bristol. I have good reasons to desire, that the Grand-Duke may know from you the event of that parcel, and the time it was sent from America. Your most Obedient and most Humble Servant
