Wythe to Thomas Jefferson, 1 January 1796
George Wythe says that the general assembly is looking to print and organize their acts. He tells Jefferson that those who have to do the work are not finding it enjoyable, but if Jefferson is able to send his copies, it will make the work easier. Wythe asks Jefferson to let him know how he will be sending the copies if he can find them.
