I think I asked the favor of you to send for Anthony in the season for
inoculation, as well as to do what is necessary in the orchard, as to
pursue the object of inoculating all the spontaneous cherry trees in the
fields with good fruit.
We have now got over about four hundred miles of our tour, and have
still about four hundred and fifty more to go over. Arriving here on the
Saturday evening, and the laws of the State not permitting us to travel on
the Sunday, has given me time to write to you from hence. I expect to be
at Philadelphia by the 20th or 21st. I am, with great and sincere esteem,
dear Sir, yours affectionately.

TO COLONEL MONROE.
Philadelphia, July 10, 1791.
Dear Sir,--Your favor of June 17, has been duly received. I am endeavoring
to get for you the lodgings Langdon had. But the landlord is doubtful
whether he will let them at all. If he will not, I will endeavor to do the
best I can. I can accommodate you myself with a stable and coach-house,
without any expense, as I happen to have two on hand; and indeed, in my
new one, I have had stalls enough prepared for six horses, which are two
more than I keep. Of my success in procuring rooms, I shall bring you news
myself, though as yet the time of my visit to Albemarle is unfixed. Mr.
Madison will both go and come with me. He is at present at New York. His
journey with me to the lakes placed him in better health than I have seen
him; but the late heats have brought on some bilious dispositions.
