101To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 7 December 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
In reply to your favor of the 3d. I have to inform you that the 3 boxes of composition ornaments from Alexandria were received some time since, though not until some weeks after they were shipped—they are still here, as only one boat I believe has gone to Milton since their arrival, and that could not take them. there are likewise some sash-weights & cords, which came from Philadelphia; & also...

Our friend in Petersburg has at length made a purchase of 14 Hhds Tobo. weighing 15,308 @ 28/. = £214.6.3. he has omitted to charge commission, which we calculate in paying him. he assigns as the reason for his not having sooner made the purchase, that he could not get it for less than 30/. and was satisfied that it would soon be lower. I suspect the fact is he did not like to acknowledge his...

I have to day received of the Treasurer of the James River Company $.198., being a dividend of 3 ⅌ Cent on Mr. Short’s 33 shares, the directors having lately determined to make now, and to continue such a dividend half yearly, so long as the tolls will justify it, & likewise enable them to continue improving the bed of the River with about 15 or 20 hands.

106To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 20 January 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to day made payment in full to Mr. Ross, conformably to the copy of his receipt annexed. As the balance, after paying him the Tobacco we had, would have been so small, I thought it best to pay the whole at once—and although such Tobacco might have been bought for less than 28/. with cash, yet as it could not, on the time you mentioned, and as we had not the Tobacco to offer him, we...

110To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 10 March 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Taylor has to day made me a further payment of 130.$ on account of Littlebury Mosby’s bond to Mr. Short; this he says will be the exact balance which was due on it, provided Mr. M. is correct in saying that he paid Colo. Skipwith 100$ on account of it—but which Colo. S: does not recollect. So soon as this point is ascertained Mr. T. has promised me a copy of the settlement, which I will...
