Messrs Shoemakers in Account with Th: Jefferson on a contract for offal I was, by agreement, to have the offal of my crop of wheat at 2/6 for every barrel of flour, or every 5. bushels of wheat, which is 50/ for every hundred bushels of wheat. I delivered 2047 bush.–55 ℔

the usual allowance of offal for 100. bushels of wheat, is 6. bushels of Midlings, 12 bushels of shipstuff, & 30. bushels of bran, and the prices are proportioned so that the shipstuff is ^⅓ and the bran ^¹⁄₁₀ of the price of the Midlings

dividing 50/ or 8. D 33^⅓ c the stipulated price of the offal of 100. bushels on these principles,

			D c
Midlings will be	64¹⁄₁₀ cents pr bushel,	&  6. bushels	3.84⁶⁄₁₀
Shipstuff	21⁴⁄₁₀	& 12  bushels	2.56⁸⁄₁₀
bran	6⁴⁄₁₀	& 30. bushels	1.92
			8.33⁴⁄₁₀

	bush. ℔
then	2047–55	of wheat entitle me to
	bush hundredths				D  c
	122–88	of Midlings, which	@ 64¹⁄₁₀ cents	come to	78.76
	114

by mr Shoemaker’s account I have recd	501¼ midlings,	305 shipstuff	672 bran
deducting what I was entitled to as above	122⁸⁸⁄₁₀₀	245⁷⁶⁄₁₀₀	614⁴⁰⁄₁₀₀
