1To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Leiper, 27 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I have yours of the 11h and observe you and Mr. Wilson have settled the time when you was to remove and he to take possession. This is a matter between you and him which I have nothing to do with only to have it fixed for as your rent and his are the same it can make no difference to me. But what respects myself and my interest I think I ought to have an opinion. It would appear from yours of...

According to an arrangement with Mr. Wilson , who was to succeed me in your house, I have continued in it till now. We have at length got every thing out of it except an article which will be taken away to-day or tomorrow. The coachman’s wife also who happened to lay in on Sunday last, has Mr. Wilson ’s permission to remain till she can safely remove. I have had every repair made which...
3From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Leiper, 16 December 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I have received your favor of yesterday and cannot but think you will retire from the proposition of my finishing the house in the garden when you recollect what has past between us, and recur to the lease wherein all our stipulations were ultimately settled.—Our first agreement was £150. for the house and you to make such additions as should be agreed on, adding 6. per Cent on their cost to...

Th: Jefferson presents his compliments to Mr. Lieper and, according to the conditions of his lease , informs him he shall relinquish it at the end of three months from this date. He thinks it probable he can find a good tenant for Mr. Lieper, and shall do it with pleasure.

6From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Leiper, 10 July 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Proposing to leave this for Virginia on Thursday or Friday at farthest I have this morning been settling all my money affairs, and find I cannot square them unless it would be convenient for you, instead of recieving the rent now due in cash, to let me take on myself so much of our joint note for 684. Dollars due at the bank about this day month. With this facility for my rent, I can pay off...

I recieved by yesterday’s post a letter from the gentleman who was to have come on himself and embarked from hence or New York for England. He writes me that his business not permitting him to come this way he is to embark from Richmond on the 15th. or 16th. As the whole object of my operations with my tobacco has been to pay him the sum of money I am pledged to pay him before his departure, I...
8To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Leiper, 30 May 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I have examined the Tobo. again in company with Mr. Strawbridge. He is of the opinion it is 5/ pr. Ct. damaged by cutting and the mixture of Grown Leaves. I could wish for your own satisfaction you could make it convenient to see it in its cut state that you may judge of the damage yourself. As this Tobacco has been imported for me I would take it at 33/9 pr. Ct. but if you are of the opinion...
9From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Leiper, 30 May 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Not doubting but that the judgment formed by Mr. Strawbridge and yourself of the value of my tobacco is just, I agree to take the price you propose of four dollars and a half the hundred. I am Sir Your very humble servt., PrC ( MHi ).

I have examined Six of your Hhds. of Tobo. and found them of a good quality but much damaged by Water but concluded it was not generally the case but this after noon I went on purpose to examine the remender and find them full as bad. I have ordered the Coopers to open some Twelve of them and I beg you would send or come and see them at half after six this afternoon for there is a very great...
