Sir, The invasion of our country by the enemy at the close of the late session of Assembly, their pushing immediately to this place, the dispersion of the publick papers, which for the purpose of saving them necessarily took place, and the injury done at the printing office, have been so many causes operating unfortunately to the delay of transmitting you those acts of Assembly which required immediate execution
Signed: I am with great respect, sir, your most obedient and most humble servant, [blank].
The Library of Congress copy is signed in ms.: Th. Jefferson.
