21George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 9 May 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
I am duly favor’d with yours of the 30 th ultimo . The window glass was forwarded by Thomas Becks on the 27 th , and will have arrived I hope some days ere this. We have received since our last 138 Bbls of your flour, 45 of it being from Lynchburg .— Although the price is ½ $ above your limit, it is dull at that, which has prevented our making any further sale for you.—if we were to go out and...
22George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 29 March 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
Being informed by M r Norvell who transacts M r Randolph’s business, that Harry has not been down for some time, and that he does not know if he has not brought the whole of M r R’s flour, I fear it may be uncertain when he will again come, & will therefore be obliged to you to ask M r Higginbotham to get some trusty waterman to call for
23George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 15 March 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
Your plaister has been here about 10 or 12 days only, having been upwards of a month in coming round from Baltimore .— I informed Harry when he was last down that he could take as much of it as he pleased, and understood from him that he intended to load up with it, but he afterwards informed our Clerk that he had other back loading & could not take any. I cannot find any oil of turpentine,...

I duly received your favor of the 3 d inclosing a note for renewal in the bank, which is in good time. The sallad-oil should have been procured & forwarded as you directed, but I was told there was none good in Town.— some has arrived within this day or two, which the holders say is good: but that is so nearly a thing of course, that I will endeavour to learn before Harry’s arrival again, from...

You will probably have heard before this reaches you, of my appointment as Consul to Lisbon . I have not yet received the Commission, and hope that the hurry after the close of the Session may cause it to be delayed, until I shall have time to hear from you in reply to this letter: as it would be with extreme reluctance that I should decline accepting of an appointment, obtained by your kindly...
26George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 1 March 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
Lest your failing to forward a note in time to renew yours in the bank should occasion you some uneasiness, I have concluded to inform you that it has not been attended with the smallest inconvenience: the situation of G & J’s account in the bank at this time being such, as to enable them to raise the money by putting in their own note. Had it been at all important, I should probably have...
27George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 11 February 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
M r Shoemaker’s dft was paid a few days after it became due, when the amount was of course remitted to Fredericksburg agreeably to your direction. From the great fall in the price of Tobacco in Lynchburg I take it for granted that were you were not able to dispose of yours.— It sells here by the face of the note at no more than 4 $.—some of a very fine quality has lately been sold as low as...
28George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 21 January 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly received your favor of the 16 th inclosing Jonathan Shoemaker & Son’s dft on W m Underhill for 250$ at 15 days after date from the 15 th , which M r U— refuses to accept, and which I have of course had

James sets off with the ewes in apparently good condition: it would be well however for them to be occasionally examined, as I am told that a part of the flock have the scab very badly. I suppose you know that by proper treatment, if taken in time, it may be cured very easily. The Pauler & Aquirrez are distinguishable by the marks P & A with tar.— James likewise carries the goblets, together...
30George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 5 October 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
I inclose your last quarterly account, balanced by $:6024. ⁸⁰⁄₁₀₀ in favor of G. & J. Major Gibbon & myself have been for some days expecting to hear from you, in reply to a letter which he wrote you respecting two Merino Ewes sent you by Doctor Jarvis .—We concluded it was best to defer making the choice as long as we could, as some of them dyed the day after they were landed.—the number has...
