Patrick Gibson to Thomas Jefferson, 12 May 1819 (first letter)
From Patrick Gibson
Richmond 12th May 1819—
Sir
I refer you to my letter of the 10th and have now to inform you, that I offer’d your note for $2000 this day at the US: Bank, and am sorry to say that it was rejected—I presume Coll Nicholas wrote to you by the last mail, (as he assured me he would do) advising your sending a note payable at the Farmer’s bank, likewise endorsed by your grandson Mr T: J Randolph; which he would use his influence to have discounted there, if it be intended to meet the sums mentiond in your last letter, as well as the curtail Still going on at the Va bank, it should be for a larger sum—I paid yesterday your dft in favor of E W Randolph for $100 and this day one in favor of E. Bacon for $150.— With much respect I am Yours truly
Patrick Gibson
RC (MHi); between dateline and salutation: “Thomas Jefferson Esqre”; endorsed by TJ as received 15 May 1819 and so recorded (with additional notation: “forenoon”) in SJL.
By his letter of the 10th, not otherwise known, Gibson may have meant his letter to TJ of 8 May 1819. By your last, Gibson referred to TJ’s letter of 22 Apr., not his brief note of 6 May 1819.
