To Bernard Peyton

Dear Sir

I had promised Samuel Garland to give him on my arrival here an order for 800.D. but, anxious to leave in your hands 500.D. for the curtail expected, I have this day drawn on you in his favor for 600.D. only, promising him the othe[r] 200 before I leave this place. by that time I hope Jefferson will have sent you on my account one or two boatloads2 of flour, which I have charged him to do as soon as the river admits. ever and affectionately yours

Th: Jefferson
