26452From Thomas Jefferson to John Dobson, 5 May 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letters of Feb. 5. and Apr. 24. were duly received. Having on the receipt of the former written to Mr. Eppes, to whom your letter referred me for the payments made on my bill of exchange, I received from him an answer of Feb. 24. wherein he says ‘since furnishing you with Mr. Dobson’s statement of your account, I have paid him out of money recd. on account of Mr. Wayles’s estate £150.

26453From Thomas Jefferson to John Dobson, 4 December 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
The credit which I was obliged to give on the sale of my tobo. of the year 1790. having put it out of my power to make any payment from that resource till now, I have reserved till now also the taking a review of our affairs. The assignment to yourself of my bond to Farrell & Jones for £500. sterl. principal and int. payable July 19. 1791. has added that demand to the former one you had...
26454From Thomas Jefferson to John Dobson, 1 January 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
If my letter of Dec. 5. produced disappointment to you, be assured that your’s of the 18th. was not less mortifying to me. It was in a tone of complaint to which no action of my life has ever justly exposed me. I think I may say with truth that no man on earth has been readier to do every thing possible to discharge that debt, of a portion of which you are become the representative. The first...
26455From Thomas Jefferson to John Dobson, 24 July 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of July 6. came to hand on the 12th. In the mean time you must have recieved mine of the 4th. informing you of the circumstances which had obliged me to give credit for my tobacco till the last of September, and consequently that no payment could be made till my return hither from Virginia in October. This being the situation of things, I can only repeat it by way of answer to...
26456From Thomas Jefferson to John Dobson, 12 June 1792 (Jefferson Papers)

In my letter of Aug. 30. I asked the favor of you to furnish me a statement of the paiments made on my bill of exchange and bond and of the balance due, and to have the same lodged at Monticello, where I proposed being during the month of October, that I might give definitive directions for the payment of it. Not having received it while there, I have now to ask the favor of it’s being lodged...
26458From Thomas Jefferson to Richard Dobson, 26 December 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I this moment recieve your favor of the 18th. covering my bond No. 1. to Farrell & Jones. The paiments which have been made on that and the bill of exchange have been by different persons, at different times, in money and I believe tobacco. I am not certain that I possess an exact list of them. However, if I do, it is in Virginia where I left most of my private papers when last there, under...
26459From Thomas Jefferson to Richard Dobson, 15 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I had fully expected to have been ere this returned to Virginia, where I knew I should have the materials and leisure to settle with you the balance due from me to Mr. John Dobson. Circumstances unforeseen have deferred my quitting this place till some time in the summer or autumn. If you think the settlement can be effected by way of letter, I am willing to try it. I am only apprehensive that...
26460From Thomas Jefferson to Richard Dobson, 30 August 1793 (Jefferson Papers)

But I shall make a visit there about the middle of October, and therefore will be obliged to you to lodge there for me in the mean time a statement of the paiments made on my bill of exchange and bond, and of the balance due, and I will see...
