On October 22, 1801, N. G. Dufief wrote from Philadelphia to Jefferson informing him that he had added to his collection a
portion of the “
Bibliothèque du Dr. B. franklin, leguée par lui à son petit fils, Temple Franklin.” He offered to Jefferson the books that remained to him of this library, including “
The Parliamentary history in 24 v. 8
o. neatly b
d. in calf

”
Jefferson replied from Washington on November 1: “
Among the books mentioned in the letter of Oct. 22. with which you favored me is one only which I would wish to acquire: it
is the Parliamentary history 24. vols 8
vo. price 30.D. should it not be disposed of before you recieve this I will thank you to send it. perhaps the vessel may still
be not departed which was to bring the others . . .
”
Dufief wrote on November 13 to report that he had the previous day sent the books by the sloop
Highland, bound for Alexandria and Georgetown.
