From Thomas Jefferson to John Barnes, 25 June 1806
June 25. 06.
Dear Sir
an accidental concurrence of several pretty heavy demands on me at the beginning of the ensuing month, will go beyond my ordinary resources. I am very averse to going further into the banks. if you have any funds which will be unoccupied one month I should be glad of their aid, & they should be replaced by a check for the 5th. of Aug. if not I must conclude to increase my note to Columbia some hundreds of Dollars. I have concluded to mention the matter thus early that I may have the more time for deciding on my arrangements. affectionate salutations
Th: Jefferson
