31From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 28 April 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 23d. is recieved & I now return you mr Peyton’s order accepted payable the first week of August. this I presume will make only the week’s odds with you, while it makes a month’s odds with me, as I settle & pay the first week of every month for the whole month. considerable paiments for the beginning of July render an anticipation then not convenient.

33From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 19 June 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I yesterday sent from hence the packages noted in the inclosed bill of lading, to be forwarded up the river. the system of plunder which our watermen carry on with respect to whatever of mine is put into their hands, and which they say is a matter of right, induces me to wish that these packages, & all others of mine hereafter may be reserved & put into the care of mr TMRandolph’s watermen....

38From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 18 March 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
Yours of the 12th. is recieved, and the arrangement for my supply of hams will, I dare say, answer. I yesterday sent to Alexandria 25. packages for Monticello, which as they contain stores for use there, I should wish to have sent by the first safe boats to Milton, consigned to mr Higginbotham, as I wish my things always to be, because it will authorise the carrier to look to him alone for...
