31To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 14 January 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to day received of the Treasurer of the James River Company $.198., being a dividend of 3 ⅌ Cent on Mr. Short’s 33 shares, the directors having lately determined to make now, and to continue such a dividend half yearly, so long as the tolls will justify it, & likewise enable them to continue improving the bed of the River with about 15 or 20 hands. By going on in this way they calculate...
32To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 20 January 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to day made payment in full to Mr. Ross, conformably to the copy of his receipt annexed. As the balance, after paying him the Tobacco we had, would have been so small, I thought it best to pay the whole at once—and although such Tobacco might have been bought for less than 28/. with cash, yet as it could not, on the time you mentioned, and as we had not the Tobacco to offer him, we...
33To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 2 February 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I paid Doctor Currie agreeably to your direction 50$:—which however, he returned some days ago, as he said the referees for whom it was intended, refused to receive any compensation: he has lodged with me some papers respecting that business, of which I suppose he has informed you. I paid Mr. Eppes some weeks ago on your account £16.4. with which I imagine he has acquainted you. I am Dear Sir...
34To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 8 February 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I received two or three weeks ago of Mr. Creed Taylor 60$. on account of Littlebury Mosby’s bond to Mr. Short. I should before now have given you this information, but Mr. T. informed me that he should make a further payment in the course of a few days—he however left Town ( having been on the assembly ) without again calling. I inclose you under two seperate covers the papers left with me by...
35To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 13 February 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Having received a letter from Mr. Barnes last night in which he desires us to remit him the 198.$: mentioned in your last , we conclude that you find you will not have occasion for it here, and therefore forward it to him agreeably to his direction. I am Dear Sir, Your Very humble servt. RC ( MHi ); at foot of text: “Thomas Jefferson esqr.”; endorsed by TJ as received 18 Feb. and so recorded...
36To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 10 March 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Taylor has to day made me a further payment of 130.$ on account of Littlebury Mosby’s bond to Mr. Short; this he says will be the exact balance which was due on it, provided Mr. M. is correct in saying that he paid Colo. Skipwith 100$ on account of it—but which Colo. S: does not recollect. So soon as this point is ascertained Mr. T. has promised me a copy of the settlement, which I will...
37To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 19 March 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly received your favor of the 16th. and have in compliance therewith given you credit by Mr. Barnes for the 130:$ received of Mosby for Mr. Short. The cyder has not yet arrived from Norfolk; which however, as yet, is of no consequence, as it could not have been forwarded, in consequence of the low water. There have not I believe been a dozen boats down from Milton in 5 or 6. months. I...
38To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 2 April 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I now inclose your account made up to the first of this month, by which there appears to be a balance due us of 45/8. The Hhd of Molasses you will observe from the account, was forwarded some days ago. The Cyder has since arrived, but we have not yet met with an opportunity of sending it up—but which shall be done by the very first that offers, together with the Corks. The bottles I am sorry...
39To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 3 April 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I yesterday forwarded the Cyder and Corks, together with some things written for by Mr. Randolph, at the request of your manager —by a boat belonging to one of the Faris’s . I observe in Mr. R’s list that the same number of Corks are mentioned as in yours; and as I expect they are intended for the same purpose, & bottles are not included in his—I hope they find that none will be required. I am...
40To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 16 April 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I have lately received, and have to day forwarded to Johnston & Richardson of Norfolk, to be by them sent on to Mr. Barnes by the first opportunity, seven dozen of Mr. Macons hams; being all that he can spare. I am endeavouring to make up the quantity you require, and hope shortly to procure such as may be relied upon. The two boxes & Cask of wine from Philada. arrived some days ago, and were...
41To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 3 May 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I have procured from Smithfield and have forwarded to Norfolk to be sent on to Mr. Barnes as before, six Casks containing six dozen hams; which from the character given them I hope may prove as good, as perhaps even Colo. Macons. The groceries, including a cask of wine from Norfolk, arrived a few days since; and were to day forwarded on to Milton, with 80 Bundles of nail-rod, & 8 of hoop-iron....
42To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 11 June 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 8th. is duly received. The letter which it inclosed for Mr. Craven Peyton, shall be held subject to his call. I forwarded the day before yesterday 504 ℔. bacon to Mr. Lilly agreeably to your direction, that having been the first opportunity which has offered since the receipt of your letter on the subject. the same boat brought down a Piano forte to go to Philadelphia, which...
43To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 14 June 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
As I suppose you will have to give Mr. Hawkins some instruction respecting the Piano, I think it unnecessary myself to write to him, and therefore inclose the bill of loading to you, which you will of course forward. I likewise inclose you a bill of loading for the box mentioned in my last . I am Dear Sir Your Very humble servt. RC ( MHi ); at foot of text: “Thomas Jefferson esqr.”; endorsed...
44To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 16 June 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
In compliance with the desire expressed in your favor of the 12th., I have been endeavouring to get an offer for your Tobacco, but no one seems disposed to make a positive one, unless I were authorised to make sale of it. Should I be authorised to sell it at such a price, a Mr. Rutherfoord tells me that he thinks it probable he will give 4.¾$ Cash, or 5$ at 90 days. this last price however I...
45To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 21 July 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to day received another dividend of 3 ⅌ Cent on Mr. Short’s James River shares, being $:198.—it is placed to the credit of Mr. Barnes, who shall be advised of it by tomorrows post.

46To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 4 August 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I some days since forwarded by Mr. Mooney , your things from Washington, the Iron & Steel from Philadelphia, & the syrup of punch; together with some articles for D. Carr. The lime & linen shall be forwarded by the next boat, if to be had; the latter however I am satisfied, cannot. The Rudimens Rudiments I send by the post-rider. Mr. Eppes is, I expect, by this with you—if he is not, have the...
47To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 11 August 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I yesterday sent you by direction of Messrs. Watson & Higganbotham 20 Bushels of Coal—I likewise forwarded by R. Mooney 2 dozn. syrup of punch. there is no Rhode Island lime to be had here. there is some from Philadelphia, which the owners say is good. I cannot yet procure any such linen as you require. Mr. Short is gone to Washington, of which I suppose you will have heard by the Governor. I...
48To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 8 September 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Having been requested by Mr. D. Carr to procure copies of some papers for you out of the office of the High Court of Chancery , I made immediate application for them, but was informed that they could not possibly be had sooner than tomorrow night. I directed them to be made out, and will look out for some private opportunity by which to send them; as, from Mr. C’s letter, I suppose that next...
49To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 15 September 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I am duly favor’d with yours of the 8th., and shall endeavour to dispose of your Tobo. to the best advantage. I have not yet been offered more than 5 dollars, but shall not now be satisfied with that, as it is in rather more demand than it was when I last wrote to you on the subject. Whether it is sold or not however, you are at liberty to draw for the sum you require. In consequence of the...
50To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 29 September 1802 (Jefferson Papers)

53To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 1 December 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 22d. ultimo inclosing a letter for Doctor Bache was received here the 25th., but it so happened that it was filed away without my seeing it, and it was not until this morning a few moments before the closing of the Charlottesville mail, that I observed it. Having the day before yesterday received a letter from Dr. B. in which he informed me he had declined going by Norfolk as...
54To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 6 December 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly received your favor of the 1st., and have in compliance with your direction forwarded Mr. Derieux $:25. The draught you mention in favor of Brown was some time since presented by Mr. J. Nicholas, but as you had previously informed us that you had concluded to forward the amount to Albemarle in bank notes, and as the draught was not endorsed so as to give N. a legal right to demand...
55To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 13 December 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 7th. to G. & J. inclosing 350$ came duly to hand; the receipt of which from pure inattention in myself , was not in course acknowledged: it has been in part, and shall be in full, applied as you direct.

57To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 15 January 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I have this instant returned from Williamsburg where I have been for some days, and find your favor of the 12th. inclosing a letter for Colo. Monroe. Mr. Gibson informs me that the one inclosed in your letter of the 10th. he forwarded on to N. York whither Colo. M. had gone the day previous to its receipt. As I think it probable however that he may make some stay in Washington, or at any rate...
58To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 8 March 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I forwarded some days since the remainder of the nail rod , & the hoop-iron, received some time ago. I likewise forwarded by C. Becks’s boat 31 packages lately received from George Town & Alexandria, together with a Hhd of Molasses & the 3 Casks Cyder. I could not conveniently get the Molasses caskd, and therefore sent it without, supposing Becks to be perfectly honest, and very careful. I...
