Item Description

Letter, August, 1825, from Hermitage, published March 1905: ''It was a source of great pleasure to myself and Mrs. J. to learn that you and Mary were received at New Orleans, and Pensacola, with so much good feeling, by the citizens of both places. They are a kind grateful people, and to you they owe much. . . If the summer should prove unhealthy let me conjure you to send Mary to the Hermitage -- where as long as it is possessed by its present incumbents she will find a home and where you know you will always be welcome. I am happy you were present in N. Orleans on the reception of Lafayette, he expressed to me great pleasure in meeting you and Mary there. . .''
