dc.description.abstract |
President George Washington leaves for Mount Vernon and will return to Philadelphia in November; Jefferson will leave for Monticello shortly and will return to Philadelphia in October; the other government offices will move to Philadelphia between October and November; hopes William Short will receive his letters in time so his furniture in Paris can be shipped to Philadelphia; requests that William Short ask Jean-Antoine Houdon to make a gilet and cloak out of silk which looks the same as the one Houdon made for President George Washington's statue; the "costume" is to be life-size and "couleur d'ardoise" or the color of slate; requests that William Short take care of several financial exchanges for Jefferson; the money paid to Jefferson from Mr. William Drayton of the South Carolina agricultural society is to be given to Mr. Ferdinand Grand; this money should go to draft of Monsieur Stephen Etienne Cathalan, Jr.; Jefferson is to receive money owed him by Philip Mazzei from John Blair; portrait of Castruccio Castracani from Florence; bond of Jefferson's to Mazzei held by John Bowdoin; William Short to discuss payment of this debt with John Bowdoin; Congress has stopped meeting for the year; Short's successor will not be named until Congress reconvenes in December; Mr. Henry Remsen, Jr. will try to send the copies of the Federalist to William Short; Jefferson will most likely not write again unless to pay for President George Washington's wine. |
