http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647950346

Jefferson, Monticello, writes to Remsen concerning the purchase of a machine for cutting nails, noting that he is finding "nail making profitable and convenient ... and is ... getting more into it." He notes that he has a dozen hands already employed and expects to increase their number. He concludes with a note about the possibility of the French making peace with their continental enemies and adds a postscript about some enclosed bills of exchange [not present]. Verso contains a lengthy docket by Remsen noting that he has sent the enclosure to Van Staphorsts & Hubbard, Amsterdam, has paid for the machine and its transportation, and has paid for hoop iron.
