DEAR SIR [Thomas Jefferson],

Bermuda-Hundred June: 14. 1803.


Your letter of the 12th. of May arrived here while Maria [Jefferson’s daughter, Mary Eppes] and myself were on a visit to my Sister Walker…

Marias health is pretty good—We shall leave this place on the 10th. of July for the Green Springs where we shall wait your return to Monticello

Accept for your health my warmest wishes

I am yours sincerely
