11George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 15 March 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
Your plaister has been here about 10 or 12 days only, having been upwards of a month in coming round from Baltimore .— I informed Harry when he was last down that he could take as much of it as he pleased, and understood from him that he intended to load up with it, but he afterwards informed our Clerk that he had other back loading & could not take any. I cannot find any oil of turpentine,...
12George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 9 May 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
I am duly favor’d with yours of the 30 th ultimo . The window glass was forwarded by Thomas Becks on the 27 th , and will have arrived I hope some days ere this. We have received since our last 138 Bbls of your flour, 45 of it being from Lynchburg .— Although the price is ½ $ above your limit, it is dull at that, which has prevented our making any further sale for you.—if we were to go out and...
13George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 30 May 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
I send you by M r Randolph’s boat two boxes which we have lately received.— There is some nail rod & bar iron which I had reserved, but Ben cannot carry it.—If you find you will require it before M r R’s boats will be down again, be pleased to inform me, that I may forward it by others.

14George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 21 April 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
I have received eleven Hhds of your Tob o , which the person who sent it informs me is all there is. It is inspected, and is said by those who saw your crop last year, to be greatly inferior to it. I do not suppose it would at this time command more than 5 $, if even that; there being scarcely at any demand at this time for Tobacco, except for that of a very superior quality, which would suit...
15George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 19 March 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
I duly received your favor of the 15 th inclosing 200$, which amount is remitted to Jones & Howell agreeably to your direction. Some plaister of Paris has just arrived for you. I do not know the quantity, the Captain not having called for his freight, & we not having received a bill of lading.—I suppose it to be 4 or 5 Ton. Is it to go to Monticello , or to Bedford ? and if to the former, is...
16George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 29 March 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
Being informed by M r Norvell who transacts M r Randolph’s business, that Harry has not been down for some time, and that he does not know if he has not brought the whole of M r R’s flour, I fear it may be uncertain when he will again come, & will therefore be obliged to you to ask M r Higginbotham to get some trusty waterman to call for
17George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 20 June 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
I inclose an acc t of the sales of 547 bbls of your flour, together with your acc t current to this day, the last shewing a balance against you of $:2671. ⁴⁰⁄₁₀₀ .— Deducting this sum from the 5800$ obtained from the bank, (which is partly to be paid off with Harrisons dft, and the balance to be continued) leaves $:3128. ⁶⁰⁄₁₀₀ for which you are to draw.—You can likewise if you think proper...
18George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 18 August 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
It really almost appears as if I shall never more have the pleasure of seeing you at Monticello . M r Gibson when I last wrote you, had not the most distant thought of going to the Springs this season—not having experienced as he supposed; any benefit from his visit the last.—He has suddenly however, by the advice of some of his friends, determined on making one more trial, and is gone. I now...

20George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 1 September 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
I some days since sent on your two dogs by Thomas Becks , having paid him 2$ for their feed, & for his trouble in carrying them up—as he said he was short of provisions, & had nothing to spare them. he promised to feed them well, & to take great care of them. I likewise forwarded by Becks the stolen trunk. I have not heard the particulars of the trial, but am told that the thief was sentenced...
