It was not till I had sealed the inclosed that I turned to the settlement of my debt to the Van Staphorsts , which my memory had supposed a little under 2000. D each instalment, whereas I find it was a little over that sum, to wit 2083.20 D with interest @ 6. p.c. from Jan. 1. 1816 . there is still therefore a balance of 83.20 principal due to them with interest on the whole from Jan. 1. 1816...

7Thomas Jefferson to Patrick Gibson, 5 August 1817 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of July 14. was duly recieved with my acc t annexed, which I believe is all right except that to the balance of 662.19 should be added an error of 10.D. in the account of Dec. 31. 1816. where the proceeds of the sale of 175. Bar. flour for 1581.75 is mis-entered as 1571.75 this error of the copyist is easily rectified. I believe also I have not yet been credited the charge of 31.D....
