61From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 19 July 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
Yours of the 14th. is recieved. I find that mr Barnes has made some mistake about the stick chairs. he recieved and paid for half a dozen for me. they were painted of a very dark colour, & were in this style. perhaps, if you saw those forwarded to Colo. Cabell you will recollect whether they were in this form, and may judge whether they were mine. if not, then mr Barnes has not forwarded mine...
62From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 5 September 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
On the 4th. of Aug. I drew on you in favor of Rhodes for 168.82 D. this by my statement would be somewhat over the funds I had in your hands, besides which you have paid articles of freight, drayage &c of which I have no account. I now inclose you a draught on John Barnes at George town for 200. D. tho’ it must be presented to him there, yet it is payable at the bank of the US. in...
63From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 13 September 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
Yours of the 8th. came to hand yesterday, and I this day wrote to mr Barnes in consequence. I am sorry to find that Henry Duke has drawn 300. D. from you, as his letter informs me. as he did not draw the money when lodged for him in May, [he was] according to agreement to give me 3. months notice. this makes no other odds than the increasing your advance [and it] would have been convenient for...
64From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 26 September 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
By a letter by this day’s post addressed to John Barnes of Georgetown I desire him to remit you in the first week of October six hundred & eighty dollars. this is the mode which appears most convenient to you both. I have also desired him to remit you a sum of not quite 300. D. for mrs Anne Key & Walter Key which place to their own account, subject to their orders. I expect some stoves from...

66From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 7 November 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
In order to replace the money paid by you to Callender & to carry it into my account with the company, I inclose you an order on the company for the sum paid, 50.

68From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 29 November 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved your favor of the 11th. when too much hurried for my departure to answer it from Monticello. I would wish you to retain awhile the money you recieved from mr Pendleton. it is necessary for me to know from the Secretary of the Treasury whether he chuses to recieve the money or to pass it as a paiment to mr Short. mr Fenwick lately from Bourdeaux does not give me much expectation of a...
69From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 5 January 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I now inclose you a power of attorney respecting mr Short’s canal shares to supply the place of the former one supposed to be mislaid. this will authorise you to recieve the money now paiable, and to act for him in every thing respecting his canal interest. the money is immediately to be transferred to this place to mr Barnes who is instructed to make a peculiar investment of it. I happen at...
70From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 16 January 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved yesterday your’s of the 10th. and immediately wrote to mr Barnes at Georgetown to remit you 3[84.]43 D which with the 535.83 D exchanged with mr Short will make up 920.26 the amount of my draughts on you , and be recieved I am in hopes before more of those draughts are presented than the 535.83 will answer.

71From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 1 February 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
My last to you was of Jan. 16. since which I have recieved your two of Jan. 12. and that of Jan. 23. I inclose you one for your brother, not knowing what is his correct post office, so as to send it to him by post directly. mr T. M. Randolph states to me that he shall fall in your debt £135 at the end of the year’s account, & being at a loss to provide it has asked me to do it. I have informed...
72From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 5 February 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved yesterday your favor of Jan. 29 and instantly wrote to mr Lieper in Philadelphia, with full powers to call on Jackson & Wharton, examine the tobacco, and deduct whatever he should think reasonable from the price of any of it which might appear to have [been] damaged before the sale: for I have nothing to do with damages in going to Philadelphia. [it] is possible the batteau-men may...
73From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 21 February 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I inclose you another letter from mr Lieper, written after a further examination of the tobo. you will find it turns out that the tobacco has [never] been wet, nor otherwise injured, except one hhd, & whether that was [wet] between Richmd & Philadelphia is uncertain; that the [pretended?] great deficiencies in weight are entirely retracted: that the tobacco is not as good in quality by about ¾...
74From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 4 March 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I must ask the favor of you to call on mr Callender & to inform him that I have recieved his letter; that his fine will be remitted, but that as it requires the presence of the head of the department, it cannot be done till his arrival, which will be in a very few days. the moment he is here & qualified, it shall be dispatched. A cask of clover seed marked TMR. is gone to the address of...
75From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 27 March 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to acknowlege the receipt of yours of Mar. 4. and to express to you the delight with which I found the just, disinterested & honorable point of view in which you saw the proposition it covered. the resolution you so properly approve had long been formed in my mind. the public will never be made to believe that an appointment of a relative is made on the ground of merit alone,...
76From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 17 April 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Yours of Apr. 6 is recieved; so is the syrop of punch forwarded by you. I must ask the favor of you to call on Colo. Carrington & pay him 30.

78From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 20 April 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I did not know till this moment that the manifests for my tobo. [passed] at Milton the last winter had not been sent to you. I am now sending off a messenger to Milton for them. if they arrive before the departure of this letter they shall be inclosed. if not, some other private conveyance from our [court] shall be sought, so at farthest they shall go by the next post. I hope it will be no...

80From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 3 May 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you on the 17th. of April accepting 7. D. for my tobo. by return of the post which brought the offer: and on the 21st. I inclosed you the manifests of the Albemarle part of it. those of Bedford you had before. I have not heard whether you closed the sale. I expect that fine hams for table use can be obtained in Richmond & it’s vicinities; by which I do not mean large, but rather small...
81From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 6 May 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I inclose you a bill of lading just recieved for a quarter cask of wine shipped by Henry Sheaff of Philadelphia to your address by my order. the wine is intended for mr [Thos.] Randolph to replace some I borrowed of him. be therefore so good as to forward it to him by the Milton boats, but one whose fidelity may be relied on. perhaps you had better ask mr Randolph’s advice by what boat to send...
82From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 12 May 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Yesterday your’s of the 7th. came to hand. I am very glad you have sold my tobacco. the expences of my outfit are so very heavy in the beginning that I shall labour hard for three or four months to come. I wish it were possible to find some means, other than bank bills, to make you the remittances of 300. D. June 16. for Bell, 800. D. July 12. for Shore, & 500. D. July 16. for Haxhall. I do...
83From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 2 June 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I acknowledged yesterday the receipt of yours of May 28. and have not since seen mr Barnes . but as I have to remit you a larger sum in the course of a week, it will certainly be better that you retain the 679.84 D of mr Short’s in part of what I have to remit and mr Barnes will place so much here to the credit of mr Short. I only wish that these new exchanges may not enter into the account...
84From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 17 June 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
By a letter recieved this day I find that Mr. John Watson has recieved in Albemarle 100. D. in part of the 285. D. which I had desired you to pay him. consequently you will have had to pay him 185. D. only. as this difference will probably, with the 679.84 D exchanged with mr Short, cover your [loss in part] for me to Bell on the draught of mr Eppes , & [such other] draughts as have been made....
85From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 6 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I inclose you a treasury draught on Colo. Carrington [for] fifteen hundred dollars to meet mr Eppes’s draughts on you [for] 800. D. payable to Dr Shore the 12th. and 500.

88From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 21 August 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Your’s of the 17th came to hand yesterday. there being little prospect of recovering my cask of white sugar & coffee (which contained 15 loaves of sugar & 60. ℔ coffee) or at any rate in time for my use here, I must ask the favor of you to send me by the first boats 8. loaves of single refined sugar, and 30. ℔ coffee; to which be pleased to add a cask of about 50. ℔ of good gunpowder.—I am in...

93From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 19 October 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I have been able at length to find time to look into the [account between] mr Ross & myself and am perfectly satisfied with it’s correctness. but [I have] noted some errors (as I deem them) in mr Robertson’s mode of statement, which I have resubmitted to the correction of the arbitrators, & I deem them so [justifiable] as not to doubt their correction. this reduces the sum awarded from [a...
94From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 3 December 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
In the month of August, mr Barnes shipped from hence by the Schooner William, James Collett master, of Alexandria three cases, small, containing some composition ornaments .
