Th: Jefferson to George Wythe
    The object of my letter of January 16 was the preservation of the laws of this state still in existence; and it is one which I have had much at heart from an early period of my life. of this, the industry I have used in making the collection is sufficient evidence. I consent therefore cheerfully to your making any use of that letter which may promote it’s object. I will take upon me any labor which may be desired in the superintendence of the work, so far as respects the Manuscripts or important part of the laws, if the doing it in my own neighborhood be reconcilable with the plan which shall be adopted. Adieu affectionately.
Monticello Aug. 8. 96.
