TJ’s financial records indicate that on may. 25 1822 he gave Yancey two notes for $400, with the first carrying interest from 30 Apr. 1821 and the second from 30 Apr. 1822. He had already given Yancey notes for the previous amounts in the credit column (MB description begins James A. Bear Jr. and Lucia C. Stanton, eds., Jefferson’s Memorandum Books: Accounts, with Legal Records and Miscellany, 1767–1826, 1997, The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Second Series description ends , 2:1332, 1343, 1344, 1353, 1371, 1386).
