MONTICELLO / FARMING REPORT
The spring is remarkably backward. No oats sown, not much tobacco
seed, and little done in the gardens. Wheat has suffered considerably.
No vegetation visible yet but the red maple, weeping willow and lilac.
Flour is said to be at eight dollars at Richmond, and all produce is
hurrying down.
to James Madison, 17 March 1809
