2Thomas Jefferson to John Barnes, 4 April 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
By the present post I desire mess rs Gibson & Jefferson to remit you 360.D. for Gen l Kosciusko , being the interest on his money in my hands for the last year. I am labouring & employing all the resources I can spare to wipe out my Washington debt paid for me by the bank of Richmond . the crop now going to market reduces it so that the one now preparing will clear it off entirely. this done,...
3Thomas Jefferson to John Barnes, 15 June 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
Yours of the 9 th came to hand last night, and the course it suggested was like a ray of light beaming on my uneasy mind. indeed I know that had I time to consult Gen l Kosciuzko he would be delighted with the opportunity of accomodating me. and I accede to it with the more readiness, because before his departure he made me the depository & sole executor of his will , by which it appears his...
4Thomas Jefferson to John Barnes, 12 May 1815 (Jefferson Papers)
I have just recieved a letter from Gen l Kosciuszko , desiring me to remit his whole principal to him in France . the letter is without date, and as I conjecture was not only before the late revolution , but before our peace . it seems to indicate a state of despair of recieving his remittances regularly, and of his distresses for want of them. in consequence of these changes, however, as...

I have just recieved from Gen l Kosciuzko a duplicate of his letter of May 30. to which he adds this P.S. ‘you render me a great service by the arranging arrangement with mr Morton to whom I owe many thanks for the most obliging manner in which I have been treated at Paris , and for the exactitude of his correspondent.’ this channel then being so agreeable to the General we had better adhere...

Your favor of the 6 th is duly recieved, and was communicated to mr Randolph , who, as I informed you is sole tenant of my mills , which he holds from year to year, the year beginning the 1 st of July. he has no disposition to recieve a partner, because as he found to be the case in his late partnership his property became liable for all the losses while he had recieved but half the...
9Thomas Jefferson to John Barnes, 17 September 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
On my return from Bedford lately I found here your two favors of Aug. 22. & 31.
