To Joseph Story

My dear Judge

After introducing to you my amiable young friend Maurice Herbert, who goes up with a view to take all the Wine you may leave, I have to request that you will write me as much at large as your time will admit, how the Court is going on? what Cases decided? what likely to be decided? And when you think with Certainty of adjourning? Above all, take care of your own health— neither the Judiciary, nor your Country can spare you. farewell—Affectly yrs

Bush. Washington

If you have no further use for my 3d Wheaton, Mr Herbert will bring it to me.
