To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 31 December 1799

From George Jefferson

Richmond 31st. Decr. 1799

Dear Sir,

At a late meeting of the James River company they directed their Treasurer to return one fourth of the 30 dollars ⅌ share which has been borrowed from the members of the company; the Interest on which will stop tomorrow—You will therefore be intitled to draw on account of Mr. Shorts 33 shares $:247.½, exclusive of Interest to this time.

I attended the meeting but was informed I could not represent Mr. Short on account of my not being a member of the company, which the law directs; and which had escaped the recollection of Mr. Pollard.

I inclose your account & am

Dear Sir Your Very humble servt.

Geo. Jefferson
