I hardly expected to have addressed you again from this place, where I have been detained much beyond my calculation. I am just now on my departure. In my last I desired some bottles (3. gross) & 6 gross of corks to be forwarded when there should be boats coming up. part of my nailrod is still to come also. as I understand that molasses is become cheap, say as low as 2/[6]. I would be glad to...
Mr. John Barnes has recieved from Dr. Bache 3333⅓ Dol. say £1000. V.C. for James Key, to be remitted at Key’s request to mr Brydie . the money is deposited for safe custody in the bank of the US. mr Key’s distress for the money is great, & mr Barnes assures me a draught on Richmond is not to be had here. the purport of this is to ask of you, if you should have occasion for a draught on this...
Your favors of Jan. 26. & 31. came safely to hand. what you decided on the subject of the molasses was according to my wish, and I would only desire my former order on that subject to be complied with in the event of it’s falling to the price then mentioned. I expect by this time you will have recieved 3. tons of half crown rod from Monticello, which I return to mr Roberts as unfit for my use....

I will ask the favor of you to do this, if the rod is come down, & to send me...
Your’s of the 5th. is this moment come to hand. I learn from home that 69. faggots of rod were sent from thence. I hope they will be safely delivered to you, as it would be very inconvenient to me to advance cash in lieu of them. I have written 4. different letters to mr Eppes & my daughter , by post to Petersburg, and not one has been recieved. I therefore take the liberty of inclosing one...
I wrote you on the 6th. since which I have recieved your’s of the 5th. being indebted to mr Lyon the printer 10. Dollars, and perhaps something more for his magazines, I have desired him to call on you for paiment, which I pray you to make him. I put the letter to him under your cover, lest a letter from me to him might excite the officious notice of the post office. I forwarded to mr Randolph...
