Patrick Gibson to Thomas Jefferson, 27 October 1814

From Patrick Gibson

Richmond 27th Octr 1814—

Sir

Your note at bank falling due on the 11th Proxo1 I take the liberty of enclosing you one for its renewal, and as I think it probable from your last letter, that you may still be in Bedford, I shall forward a Copy of this to that place under cover to Mr saml J: Harrison I am respectfully

Your obt Servt

Patrick Gibson

Your favor of the 25th is just received

the several dfts you mention shall be paid on presentation

RC (ViU: TJP-ER); postscript adjacent to signature; between dateline and salutation: “Thomas Jefferson Esqre”; at foot of text: “Monticello”; endorsed by TJ as received 15 Nov. 1814 and so recorded in SJL. Dupl (ViU: TJP-ER); lacks postscript; at foot of text: “Bedford”; endorsed by TJ as received 2 Nov. 1814 and so recorded in SJL.

In the note on the Bank of Virginia, TJ promised to pay $3,900 to Gibson or order in sixty days. TJ did not complete the version dated Monticello, 11 Nov. 1814, enclosed in this letter and sent to Richmond (MS in ViU: Randolph Family Papers; printed form with blanks filled in by Gibson, unsigned). Instead he executed the copy that Gibson sent to Poplar Forest (see TJ to Gibson, 3 Nov. 1814). A photograph of a similar promissory note is reproduced in the center illustrations section of Volume 12.
