Jefferson was buying an edition of Pope’s Homer from
Stockdale through William Stephens Smith, in 1786. In a letter to Jefferson in Paris dated from London October 1, 1786, Smith wrote:
“. . . I suppose M
r. Stockdale has forwarded your Books--Homers Odesey and Iliad not being ready at the time, I have got them bound, and shall
forward them, with your waist coats and breeches, by the diligence, if you think best . . .”
On November 11, Smith wrote: “. . . I have given to M
r. Stockdale 4 Vol
s. of Pope’s Iliad and Odesey, which were not ready in time for the last parcel, they will accompany those last ordered from
Stock
e
. . . .”
