Jefferson questions the length of Wilson Barrett's proposed bill, particularly with regards to Chatterton. Wonders if Barrett would consider anything shorter than the play he suggests, and mentions "would he not shine in the oration scene of Mark Anthony?" He (Jefferson) does not know Mr. Barrett, he "of course could not take the liberty of asking him to alter his proposal." Addressed "My dear Willie" and signed "Joe."
