229. AGRICULTURE, Model plow.—[continued].

I have received the medal
of gold by which the Society of Agriculture
at Paris have been pleased to mark their approbation
of a form of the mould-board which
I had proposed; also * * * the information
that they had honored me with the title of foreign
associate to their society. I receive with
great thankfulness these testimonies of their
favor, and should be happy to merit them by
greater services.—
To M. Sylvestre. Washington ed. v, 83.
(W. 1807)
