2From Thomas Jefferson to Mary Barclay, 30 July 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I have just recieved a letter from Mr. Barclay and another from Mr. Bondfeild by which I find it probable you will be setting out immediately for America.

Mr. Aop applied to me on the subject of a dividend of prize money assigned to Mr. Barclay, which, as I informed him, can only be paid in America. It has since occurred to me that Mr. Barclay might perhaps have relied on this in part for your particular use during his absence. If so, and any inconvenience should arise from the disappointment, I beg you to be so friendly as to communicate it to...
